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

Dear FDA,
 
I am outraged and disappointed that your new policy on genetically 
 engineered foods fails to require safety testing and mandatory labeling. 
Listen to what the consumers are pleading to your agency, and don't rely 
on the promises of the food corportations. My family and I want prior 
testing before sales, and all GE foods should be labled as such. What is 
so wrong with that?

Sincerely,
