In this connection, let me direct your attention to para- 
graph 3 of the Statement of Commissioners Karen A. Lebacqz and 
Albert R. Johnsen to the Report and Recommendations of the National 
Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and 
Behavioral Research printed in 40 Fed. Reg. 33530 ff. (Aug. 8, 1975). 
The Statement appears at pages 33550-51 and a copy of those two 
pages is enclosed herewith. 
I recognize that it may be premature to impose such a require- 
ment in the initial Guidelines. I would nonetheless urge that, at a 
minimum, grantee institutions be directed to develop such a compensa- 
tion program and, further, that the matter of compensation be placed 
on the agenda of whatever group may have continuing responsibility 
for advice with respect to modification and amendment of the Guidelines. 
As a technical matter, I would suggest with regard to Part IV B 
that the certifications both as to compensation and as to containment 
facilities be made by and in the name of the institution itself and not by 
a biohazard committee. 
Warm personal regards. 
Sincerely , 
Daniel M. Singer

P.S. I would very much appreciate having a copy of the text of your 
opening remarks delivered February 9 following your introduction of the
