Dear 
On June 23, 1976 the National Institutes of Health plans to 
release its guidelines on recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid 
(DNA) research to investigators supported by NIH funds under 
grants and contracts. 
A copy of the guidelines is attached for your information and 
delivery to the appropriate biomedical research agency of your 
government. Comments on the guidelines may be addressed directly 
to me. 
At present, there are only a limited number of copies available. 
However, additional copies will be available at a later date. 
Your cooperation in bringing this to the attention of your 
government is appreciated. 
Sincerely yours, 
lal 
Attachment
