Dear Dr. Gartland: 
I heartily support the proposed revision of the NIH Guidelines 
for research Involving recombinant DNA molecules. In particular, I 
support the revisions recommended by the recombinant DNA advisory 
committee. It Is high time that these guidelines disappeared totally, 
and every step In that direction will be most welcome. 
Yours sincerely
