Subject: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598

The FDA MUST
-require mandatory pre-market comprehensive environmental review
-require mandatory pre-market long-term health testing
-require mandatory labeling of GE products. If not, consumers would be deprived of the critical knowledge needed to hold food producers liable should any of these novel products be hazardous
-end its cozy relationship with the industries it purports to be regulating. People have been allowed to work for a biotech company, then work for the FDA writing the regulatory rules on that company's product, then go back to working for the company.  92% of FDA advisory committee meetings had at least one conflict of interest.
