The amendment is unnecessary and mischievous. It will serve to obstruct 
recombinant DNA research and it will intrude on the jurisdiction of other federal 
agencies and foreign governments. It will interfere with projects of companies and 
institutions that are not funded by the NIH. It will hamper collaboration between 
American and foreign investigators. It ought to be rejected ! The third paragraph 
of Section I-C is adequate in its present form. LEAVE IT ALONE!
