in question was: 
"It should advise personnel of potential 
consequences if practices are not followed 
and outline contingency plans in the event 
containment loss results in release of 
organisms with recognized potential for 
serious detrimental impact." 
Dr. Pirone said if there was recognized potential for serious 
detrimental impact perhaps BL1-P was not the proper containment. 
Therefore, the final portion of the sentence should be deleted 
following the word "followed" making it read: 
"It should advise personnel of potential 
consequences if practices are not followed." 
Dr. Fedoroff said she agreed with the change, and Dr. Tolin 
concurred. 
Dr. Pirone said paragraph 98 of tab 1290 had the same wording, 
"serious detrimental impact." Perhaps this sentence should be 
made to read: 
"It should advise personnel of potential 
consequences if practices are not followed 
and outline contingency plans in the event 
containment loss results in release of 
organisms . " 
Dr. McGarrity said it may be better to be consistent with the 
language in paragraph 88 and end the sentence after the word 
"followed." Dr. Pirone said in light of the fact that the 
containment level here was higher and at a minimum there would be 
screens on the greenhouse, it should contain the wording up to 
the word "organisms." Dr. Fedoroff agreed with this. 
A third inconsistency was pointed out by Dr. Pirone in paragraph 
103a dealing with the same wording, "serious detrimental impact." 
Dr. Fedoroff said that 103a was going to be totally eliminated, 
and there would be no need to consider amending its text. 
Dr. Fedoroff said that there had been a similar suggestion made 
by the Industrial Biotechnology Association (IBA) in reference to 
paragraph 89. They recommended it to read: 
"A record is kept of experiments in progress 
in the facility." 
Dr. Fedoroff said the IBA pointed out that many times investi- 
gators will need to remove soil samples and plant parts from a 
greenhouse to a laboratory for characterization. Maintaining a
