Re: January 30, 1976 letter to members of FASST concerning pro- 
posed guidelines for research on recombinant DMA 
Dear Dr« Frederickson: 
As a FASST member interested in biomedical technology I wish to 
share my views on the above-mentioned proposed guidelines. I 
feel it is wise to classify the BN A experiments according to in- 
creasing potential hazard and also agree that procedures should 
be appropriately strict. Progress is great but only as it mini- 
mizes danger to the environment. V/e hope, I assume, not to create 
dangerous imbalances in nature, and will not, if the suggestions 
before the Advisory Committee are favorably considered. Perhaps, 
in a year or two, then, the experiments nova deemed so hazardous 
as to be shunned may be tried on a limited basis in a tightly- 
controlled environment. 
Sincerely yours, 
(Mi ss) Carol Ann Przybyl3ki
