  <dc:description>The success of Kornberg and others in creating synthetic copies of DNA and RNA had provoked public concern about the future consequences of genetic engineering, even before recombinant DNA technology was developed in the 1970s. In March 1968, Kornberg and other leading researchers in the field testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Government Research to address these concerns. Kornberg explained the current state of knowledge in molecular biology, the immense potential for medical applications, and the need for much more federal funding for this branch of research.</dc:description>
