To realize the potential benefits of genetic engineering with R-ONA methods, we must strike a wise balance between the thrust of innovation and the restraint of regulation and over sight Such a balance must rest on accumulated experience, scientific knowledge, and the judgment to discriminate among organisms and introductions that differ in their potential to cause ecological problems. Basic and applied scientists gener ally agree that many contemplated introductions are either vir tually risk-free or have risk-to-benefit ratios well within acceptable bounds.

the regulatory process must be cognizant of previous experi .,.. The scientific community urgendy needs to provide guid ence in the regulation of R-ONA and maintain flexible mecha ance to both investigators and regulators in evaluating nisms for the continuing modification of regulations based on planned introductions of modified organisms from an accumulated information and the deeper understanding of the ecological perspective.
