Re: dockets 00N-1396 abd 00D-1598

Dear Commissioner Henney,

I would like to voice my very strongly held belief that I have the 
right to know what is or is not in my food.  As a consumer, this 
knowledge would allow me to make an informed purchase choice.

I would also like to add that I firmly believe that bio-engineered 
products need to be fully tested to determine that they are safe for 
human consumption prior to being available to consumers.

The FDA should require both labelling and testing of these products. 
Please do not place industry interests above those of the general 
public.

Sincerely,
Rebecca E. Long
