EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20506
July 18, 1988.
!~. l2- ~-~ 9~a
Enclosed for your clearance is the Federal Policy for the Protection
of Human Subjects to be proposed for public comment in the Federal
Register as a common rule (enclosure A). Adoption of this policy
will implement a recommendation from the President's Commission
for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and
Behavioral Research that "all federal departments and agencies
adopt as a common core the regulations governing research with
human subjects issued by the Department of Health and Human
Services." This policy has been developed by the Interagency
Human Subjects Coordinating Committee, a committee of the Federal
Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering and Technology.
The Interagency Coordinating Committee included a representative
from your organization as well as eighteen other organizations
(enclosure B).
Two organizations propose to depart from the Federal Policy,-the
Department of Education and the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). These departures and the FDA Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
are included in enclosure C.
For your information, I am enclosing a common preamble (enclosure
D) that will be published in the Federal Register and which
provides some background to the proposed rule.
The Federal Policy has been in development for some time and has
been widely shared in each of the organizations involved. Therefore,
I am asking for clearance from all organizations within two
weeks of the date of this letter so that we can proceed to publish
in the Federal Register. OMB and the Office of the Federal
Register have arranged for streamlined procedures for proposed
common rule publication.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has indicated that it will
follow the Federal Policy as adopted by HHS in its regulations,
responding to Executive Order 12333 requiring the CIA to conform
to guidelines issued by the Department of Health and Human Services

. Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/23: CIA-RDP90M01364R000800100001-8
(HHS). Although -the CIA does not propose to codify the Federal
Policy as regulations, I am asking for your concurrence prior to
publication in the Federal Register.
Please return the signature page indicating your concurrence
(enclosure E) to Dr. Joan P. Porter, Office for Protection from
Research Risks, National Institutes of Health, Building 31, Room
4B09, 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, Maryland 20892.
We want to move rapidly to ensure a coordinated federal
approach for protection of human subjects in research. I believe
promulgation of the common rule will help us achieve that-goal.
I appreciate your priority attention to clearance o:f these documents.
Sincerely,
'V
William R. Graham
