Dear Dr. Koop:
I would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to read the enclosed exchange of correspondence I've had with Morris B. Abram, Chairman of the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research.
After reading it, would you then respond directly to Mr. Abram and send me a copy of your response?
With best personal regards,
Cordially,
Henry J. Hyde
P.S. He seeks "testimony" on a paper for the commissiion from our perspective -- and I cannot think of anyone more qualified on this topic than yourself!
