which comply with appropriate Governmental guidelines on DNA research. It 
would be objectionable for the Department to "approve" particular licensees 
to to "approve" specific terms or conditions in any licensing agreements 
with particular licensees. 
As to those Government-funded institutions which do not operate 
under an IPA, the Department should condition the granting of ownership to 
identified inventions on the institution's willingness to (1) abide by 
Governmental guidelines and (2) license only those concerns which also comply 
with these guidelines. 
Again, we appreciate the opportunity to comment on this very important 
aspect of DNA research activities. We will be pleased to discuss with you in 
greater detail our recommendations of this area if you have any further 
questions. 
Respectfully submitted.
