RE: Docket No. 98P-1194

Dear FDA:

Please withdraw your approval of bovine growth hormone (rBGH) (also known 
 as rBST or Posilac®). I am concerned about human health problems from the 
use of BST, and also about the cruelty to animals that follows its use. 
This is an unnecessary evil benefiting no one but the drug producers-- 
though, if one believes, as I do, that we reap what we sow, then it would 
be a great favor even to these companies to withdraw approval.

Sincerely,
Laurel Robertson
