... To this end, the Council of President the National Academy of Sciences issues this paper, "Introduc­ National Academy of Sciences tion of Recombinant DNA-Engineered Organisms into the Environment: Key Issues:' A substantial body of knowledge has accumulated on the laboratory use of recombinant DNA-engineered organisms, on organisms that have been modified by traditional genetic pro­ cedures, and on the introduction of both genetically modified and nonmodified organisms into agricultural and natural envi­ ronments. This paper draws upon research and past experience in these areas and applies the relevant scientific principles to the issues surrounding the introduction of recombinant DNA­ engineered organisms into the environment The paper was prepared by a committee of biologists who represent a broad range of disciplines and experience.
