The Assistant Secretary for Health 
Director, NIH 
Charter for the Interagency Committee on Recombinant 
DNA Research — ACTION 
Enclosed is a proposed charter for the Interagency Committee on 
Recombinant DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) Research. Since we have 
obtained the names of representatives from most of the Departments 
and Agencies and hope to have a meeting in early November, I would 
appreciate any help you can give to see that this charter is approved 
as expeditiously as possible.
