ADJOURNMENT
                       THOMAS MURRAY, Ph.D.
     DR. MURRAY:  Thank you.  It has been a very constructive-- 
Did you want to say something, Eric.
     DR. MESLIN:  Just very quickly--
     DR. MURRAY:  Before he adds that, let me just thank you all. 
It has been a very constructive day. 
     Eric?
     DR. MESLIN:  For those who were following the agenda and
noticed the item which was "Future Commission Research
Activities," we did not get to that today.  That is only because
of timing.  
     This is an issue that the full commission will be discussing
tomorrow and it is the result of the informal discussions that a
few commissioners have had at the request of the chairman to
start strategizing about the future reports that the commission
will take on.  
     So you may want to think about that a little bit this
evening, but there will be time--a considerable amount of time--tomorrow afternoon devoted to that subject that will be led in
the discussion by Eric Cassell.
     DR. SHAPIRO:  Finally, let me thank Tom for his Christmas
cookies.  Thank you very much.
     DR. MURRAY:  That is okay.  See you tomorrow morning.
     (Whereupon, at 5:03 p.m., the meeting adjourned, to
reconvene as the meeting of the National Bioethics Advisory
Commission the next day, Wednesday, January 7, 1998, at 8:00
a.m.)
