Scientists in academia and industry concur that appropriate oversight and regulation for biotechnology are in the best interests of society. Field trials have not resulted in any uncontrolled hazard. Oversight should continue and useful methods for assessing risk associated with release of genetically engineered organisms to the environment have been proposed.
