research and has fired imaginations with its potential for applications in agriculture and medicine. But imaginations have also been fired by fears of the consequences from accidents either in the research laboratory or in the use of recombinant DNA-containing organisms in agriculture and the environment. Fears of consequences in the biomedical sciences have been largely countered by oversight of the research process by guidelines for recombinant DNA research, written initially by molecular biologists under the aegis of a single United States federal agency, the National Institutes of Health. In contrast, there are remaining fears of consequences in the agricultural and environmen tal areas. Hence research, development, and application stages are currently regulated by multiple U.S. federal agencies with the help of molecular biologists, agricultural scientists, ecologists, environmentalist s, and attor
