DNA molecules or the products derived therefrom. NRDC and EDF 
seek regulations governing all recombinant DNA research and 
technology including, but not limited to: 
(a) All experiments discussed in the "Guidelines 
for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules" 
issued by the National Institutes of Health on 
June 23, 1976 and published in the Federal Register 
Part II on July 7, 1976; 
(b) All experiments in which chemically or 
enzymatically synthesized DNA is inserted into 
a living host, plasmid or virus; and 
(c) All other procedures in which DNA from 
any two sources which do not normally exchange 
genetic information may function within the 
same cell. 
NRDC and EDF seek regulations whicn would cover all persons and 
organizations conducting or supporting recombinant DNA research 
including, but not limited to: 
1. Recipients of Research grants awarded by 
any agency within the Department of Health, 
Education and Welfare; 
2. Private corporations; 
3. Private and public universities; and
