Subject: Antibiotics Used in Livestock

Dear Commissioner:
This is a short message but a very important one and your consideration given 
to this plea would be fully appreciated. 

Government guaranteed information on U.S. antibiotic use is necessary for 
creating effective solutions for reducing antibiotic use in livestock. The 
reported unnecessary dosages for purposes other than diseases has serious 
consequences for human health. Your administration has already recognized the 
need for collecting such data and we urge you to establish a government 
system to gather and distribute this information.

Your careful consideration and reply to this letter would be appreciated. We 
also trust this important work will be brought to the attention of those 
concerned in the upcoming Bush Administration.

Thank you.
