Dear Dr. Fredrickson: 
Attached hereto is a statement concerning 
the new proposed revisions for the Guide- 
lines for Recombinant DNA Research. 
This statement represents the position of 
the Coalition for Responsible Genetic Re- 
search as resolved at its meeting of May 7, 
1978 . 
We trust that the recommendations included 
therein will be incorporated into further 
procedures of the NIH in time to ensure the 
required public participation. 
Thank you for your kind consideration.
