An infant 
Appellant 
No. 
v 
JOSEPH A. CALIFANO, JR. et al : 
Appellees : 
MOTION TO ENTOIN APPELLEES PENDING APPEAL FROM 
CONDUCTING RECOMBINANT DNA EXPERIMENTS 
1. Appellant, an infant resident of Frederick County, Maryland, 
sued Appellees below in an attempt to enjoin them from conducting 
a series of scientific laboratory experiments at Ft. Detrick, Frederick, 
Maryland, near where he lives. The experiments sought to be enjoined 
utilize recombinant DNA techniques, and are termed "Risk Assessment 
Studies." These experiments, to be conducted over a one year period, 
seek intentionally to create in the laboratory a bio-hazard in order to 
assess the risk of performing recombinant DNA research. Appellant's 
claim for relief was based on the failure of the Appellees to prepare 
an Environmental Impact Statement, as required by NEPA (42 USC 
§ 4331-4347).
