Dear Dr. Fredericksen, 
I support fully the position and statement of Friends of the Earth 
concerning the proposed revisions of the NIH recombinant DNA guidelines. 
There is no need to repeat the details. I believe that beyond the partic- 
ular question of specific guidelines is the more important question of the 
public perception as to whether or not scientists are willing to accept 
public participation in matters that affect the public. 
Yours truly. 
Solomon Garb, M.D.
