چکیده

"Habemus regimen recombinatum," it proclaimed, in celebration of the end of a long struggle to revise the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules. It was not the first telegram the Secretary had received on this subject. From Peking the preceding June, I had responded to his cabled instructions concerning proposed revisions of the Guidelines which I had taken to China. The U.S. liaison officers found my reply inappropriate for transmission, but I delivered it on my return, imprinted on a rice paper templerubbing.
