In view of the above — and to bring the formulation of 
the amendment as close as possible to the language of the 
Convention — we recommend that the amendment be modified to 
read: 
"The use of recombinant DNAs for development 
of microbial or other biological agents, or toxins, 
of types or in quantities that have no justification 
for prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes, 
is prohibited." 
We appreciate your invitation to send an ACDA representa- 
tive to the June 28 meeting of the Recombinant DNA Advisory 
Committee. I have asked Dr. Robert Mikulak of my staff to 
represent ACDA. If ciny questions arise, I suggest you contact 
Dr. Mikulak directly at 632-3422. 
Sincerely yours.
