Dear Director: 
I wish to respond to the proposed amendment to the National Institute of 
Health’s Guidelines for Research involving Recombinant DNA Molecules as 
submitted by Mr. Jeremy Rifkin of the Foundation on Economic Trends. 
My daughter made me aware of Mr. Rifkin 's proposal to discontinue research 
important to the cure of genetic disorders, cancer and other diseases. I 
am strongly urging the committee to overrule the proposed amendment and 
continue the funding for Recombinant DNA Activities. 
Sincerely, 
[ 487 ]
