Many scientific and policy issues currently confront biotechnology research and development. Some of these issues include the introduction of genetically engineered organisms into the environment, federal and state oversight of biotechnology research, food adulteration by R-DNA techniques, biotechnology education and international outreach programs, and the patenting of biotechnology products and processes. It is proposed that a Committee on Biotechnology be established to advise the Board on Basic Biology (BBB) on these issues and to provide a forum to mediate the multidirectional flow of information and technology transfer among industry, academe, and the public. Under the direction of the BBB, the proposed committee will initiate relevant workshops, symposia, and studies. The committee's activities will provide valuable information and guidance to government agencies, research scientists, and the public. In addition, the committee would serve as the U.S. National Committee for COBIOTECH, which is a new international scientific committee on biotechnology of the International Council of Scientific Unions. It is proposed that the Committee on Biotechnology consist of approximately seven members selected for the most part from sources such as the BBB, the Commission on Life Sciences (CLS), and the U.S. representatives on the COBIOTECH steering group.

目前生物技术研究和开发面临许多科学和政策问题。 其中一些问题包括将基因工程生物体引入环境、联邦和州对生物技术研究的监督、R-DNA 技术的食品掺假、生物技术教育和国际推广计划以及生物技术产品和工艺的专利申请。 建议成立生物技术委员会，就这些问题向基础生物学委员会（BBB）提供建议，并提供一个论坛来调解工业界、学术界和公众之间的信息和技术转让的多向流动。 在 BBB 的指导下，拟议的委员会将发起相关研讨会、专题讨论会和研究。 该委员会的活动将为政府机构、研究科学家和公众提供有价值的信息和指导。 此外，该委员会将担任美国国家COBIOTECH委员会，这是国际科学联盟理事会下属的一个新的生物技术国际科学委员会。 建议生物技术委员会由大约七名成员组成，大部分成员来自 BBB、生命科学委员会 (CLS) 以及 COBIOTECH 指导小组的美国代表。
