FDA Commissioner Dockets Management Branch (HFA 305) Food and Drug Administration 5630 Fisher's Lane, rm. 1061 Rockville, MD 20852 RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598 FDA, As a citizen of the US, the country built of freedom, I urge you to label GE organisms as such. I do not want to support the GE agribussiness industry, especially the biotech sector. On a political, ethical, economical, environmental and health basis, I oppose such industry practices. Being that there are safe alternatives to these potential "advances" this is what I want to choose. Listen to the public's voice. Let me people the choice, not profit driven industry.
