From: Center for Food Safety [action@foodsafetynow.org] Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 7:49 AM To: FDA Commissioner Cc: president@whitehouse.gov; vice.president@whitehouse.gov; fdadockets@oc.fda.gov; fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Oppose the New FDA Regulations on GE Foods! 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 Dear FDA, GMO food is incredibly bad "science." I promise that I will make it a long-term major mission of my lifetime to insure that the present FDA principals are severally and personally held morally, ethically, and legally responsible for any harm to even one little child from GMO food. And believe me, any real or potential harm(s) from GMO food will be discovered, labelling or no labelling! Many responsible scientists in Europe will make sure of that. Again, I personally guarantee it. Despite overwhelming consumer demand, your agency still fails to require safety testing and mandatory labeling for GE foods. Your “notification” policy is an insult to consumers, and irresponsibly ignores strong scientific evidence of numerous potential health and environmental risks to GE foods. Sincerely, Peter M.
