Dear Dr. Fredrickson: 
At the last meeting of the Executive Committee of 
the Coalition for Responsible Genetic Research, the 
attached comment on the proposed revisions to the 
NIH guidelines was approved. We are sending it to you 
for your due consideration on further actions concern- 
ing the proposal. 
We are confident that the NIH will adhere to the pro- 
cedural and scientific standards which the public ex- 
pects . 
Very truly yours.
