		In December 1992 Dr. Bernadine Healy, then Director of the NIH, approved a compassionate use exemption from the regular review process, to allow a critically ill patient to receive gene therapy.
		This circumvention of the regular approval process proved very controversial and set off a series of meetings aimed at creating procedures for dealing with expedited review of single patient protocols in the future (V, National Institutes of Health 1993).
		The minutes of this important meeting of the RAC relate the story of Bernadine Healy's compassionate use exemption, and the subsequent turmoil caused within the RAC.
