The concerns discussed in this letter and mentioned briefly during 
the meeting of the Advisory Committee to the Director of the NIH are 
expressed here solely as those of an individual scientist and 
physician. I thank you for the opportunity to attend the meeting 
of the Advisory Committee and the meeting of the Recombinant DNA 
Molecule Program Advisory Committee of the National Institutes of 
Health and to express my views. In spite of my concerns, I would 
like to state my whole-hearted endorsement of the general spirit 
and content of the guidelines, which I hope will be adopted very soon. 
Sincerely 
Elena 0. Nightingale, M.D., Ph.D
