In sum, we urge NIH and RAC at the present time to maintain their 
role of scientific review of many developing phases of rDNA science and 
application. It is essential that this scientific review be conducted in a 
timely manner. This central role will undoubtedly evolve. IBA is apprecia- 
tive of this unique and invaluable contribution in assisting rDNA science 
as it strives towards fulfilling its potential, and is pleased to offer its 
assistance as may be appropriate. 
Sincerely ,
