  • Title: No NIH ban.
    Author: Budiansky S.
    Journal: Nature; 1982 Jul 08; 298(5870):111. PubMed ID: 7088166.
    Abstract:
    An amendment to the NIH recombinant DNA guidelines to ban the production of biological weapons by molecular cloning was rejected by the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee. The decision followed assurances by the Army and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency that no such work is being conducted and that, in any event, production of biological warfare agents is effectively prohibited by the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. Government spokesmen described the U.S. biological warfare research program as limited to medical defense and to detection and protection.
