Working Group Mooting 
Notice is hereby given of a Working 
Group, sponsored by the Recombinant 
DNA Molecule Program Advisory 
Committee, to consider the Report of 
the U.S.-EMBO Workshop To Assess 
Risks for Recombinant DNA Experi- 
ments Involving the Genomes of 
Animal. Plant and Insect Viruses at 
the National Institutes of Health,

U.S.-EMBO Workshop was convened 
as a result of comments received on 
the virus sections of the proposed re- 
vised Guidelines for Research Involv- 
ing Recombinant DNA Molecules (42

from this Working Group meeting on 
April 6-7 will be considered at the 
next meeting of the Recombinant 
DNA Molecule Program Advisory 
Committee.

will be reprinted in the Federal Regis- 
ter in the near future. Copies of the 
Workshop report and other relevant 
information may be obtained from Dr.
