GENETICALLY MODIFIED PEST-PROTECTED PLANTS: SCIENCE AND REGULATION
Appendix C
Committee on Genetically Modified Pest-Protected Plants
PUBLIC WORKSHOP
NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL
BOARD ON AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES
May 24, 1999
AGENDA
8:30 – 9:00 am
Introduction to Workshop
Perry Adkisson, Committee Chair
Overview of Coordinated Regulatory Framework
Stanley Abramson, Committee Member
9:00 – 10:00
Panel A: Molecular Biologists/Traditional Plant Breeders Panel
Do transgenic pest-protected plants pose new, or different risks and benefits compared to traditionally bred plants?
What are the differences, if any?
What are the similarities?
How should the regulatory scheme account for the differences or similarities?

Panel D: Animal/Human Health Effects Panel
What evidence is available concerning potential risks or benefits that GMPP plants pose to livestock or human health? (e.g. allergenicity, toxicity, reduced pesticide exposure)
How should the regulatory framework address these risks and benefits?
