So thank you very much.

REPORT FROM THE GENETICS SUBCOMMITTEE:
TISSUE SAMPLES REPORT
DR. MURRAY: Thank you very much. It is,
indeed, a shock when one finds one's chairman in the
morning on CNN discussing the previous work of the
commission and discussing it very articulately.
It is not true that the commission is going to
fund its work from here on in by establishing "Clones-R-
Us," is it, Harold?
DR. SHAPIRO: That is not true. As you know,
as everyone knows, I am sure, that cloning is again in the
news. It is interesting how this sort of gets itself into
the news again and you have seen it in this morning's
paper. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed since we
discussed this last time so we will not take that issue up
again at this moment but thank you for noting that, Tom.
DR. MURRAY: The Genetics Subcommittee is
trying to finish up its work on the issue of the use of
human tissue samples. Our interest in the work was, as
many of you know, was motivated by a variety of factors.
