RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
 
I have a granddaughter who is allergic to peanuts.  This is no laughing 
 matter.  Should the harmful parts of peanuts be genetically engineered 
into other foods which she might unknowingly consume,--well......what 
then?  Her name is Holly.
	Hopefully, Holly will grow up and have children.  They may also have this 
allergy.  What for them......
	Once you turn this possiblity loose into our food supply, how can you 
retrieve it?  How do you know what the far reaching consequencies are for 
humans?  I am not comfortable with that possiblilty of letting GE fly.
	As a consumer, I am asking you to stop this GE business until we and you 
truly know what this dangerous unleashing will be!
