SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

by Executive Order 12975 on October 3,

1995. The charter of the Commission

was signed on July 26, 1996. The first

The mission of the NBAC is to advise

and make recommendations to the

National Science and Technology

human biology and behavior, and in the

applications of that research. On

February 24, 1997, the President

instructed the Commission to undertake

a review of the legal and ethical issues

associated with the recent report of a

technique for cloning sheep. This

scientific discovery raises a host of

important issues including serious

ethical questions, in particular the

possible use of this technique to clone

human embryos, as well as the promise

of benefits in a number of areas.

Tentative Agenda

The Commission will (1) receive

reports from its subcommittees, (2)

discuss and plan the Commission’s 90-

day report to the President on issues of

cloning, and (3) listen to presentations

from the public.
