Dear Dr. Fredrickson: 
The meetings of the recombinant DNA advisory 
committee on December V~> and 16 are important enough 
to merit extensive public participation. For this 
reason, I would hope that the meetings could take the 
form of public hearings, with adequate provisions made 
for verbal contributions from interested participants. 
This format will work to further a thorough analysis of 
the proposed revised guidelines and their implications. 
I hope you will consider this suggestion. 
Sincerely, 
Nancy H. Pfund 
Sierra Club Lobbyist
