From: Judith Weiss [vic.crouch@sev.org] Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2001 9:21 PM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket 00N-1396 and Docket 00D-1598 I am begging the FDA to live up to its civic responsibility for the health of the nation. You MUST require mandatory pre-market safety testing of genetically engineered food for at least 7 generations of that food and the other life forms that food impacts Require pre-market environmental review Require mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods Ensure public access to adequate information for independent review of the safety of each individual food item The FDA must stop being an industrial lap dog and do its job to ensure a safe food suppy for all americans.
