1 and also the nature of members' affiliation with the 
2 institution. 
3 The nine categories were defined as follows: 
4 First, scholars in fields such as microbiology, bio- 
5 chemistry, or molecular genetics were categorized as 
6 scientists in the recombinant DNA disciplines. This 
7 category includes individuals most likely to be 
8 directly involved in recombinant DNA research, and 
9 represent this professional viewpoint. 
10 Next, scholars in fields which may be 
11 related to recombinant DNA research, such as biology, 
12 chemistry, medicine or engineering were categorized as 
13 peripherally related scientists. 
14 The third category represents related 
15 administrators, and includes institutional and non- 
15 institutional officials who are involved in an area 
17 related to recombinant DNA, either in research affairs 
13 or in health and safety enforcement. These latter 
19 two categories include individuals whose professional 
2 Q training may have been related to recombinant DNA 
21 activities. 
22 The other major categories included non- 
23 related scholars, non-related administrators, public 
24 representatives, workers, and students.
