From: Center for Food Safety [action@foodsafetynow.org] Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 5:16 PM 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, I feel as a citizen of this country I deserve the right to know what I am eating and what is being done to what I eat. Mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods would not in anyway interfere with the company's who produce genetically modified produce or the people who don't care but it would allow those who wish to know be forewarned. Hopefully you will make a decision based on the choice of the people and not one which bring money into your pockets come the next election Sincerely, Marlow Rodale 203 N 34st Philadelphia, PA, 19104 CC: The President Vice President Dick Cheney FDA Dockets Management [Docket No. 00N-1396] Senator Arlen Specter Senator Rick Santorum Representative Chaka FattahFDA Dockets Management [Docket No. 00D-1598] To the recipient -- this fax/email message has come to you via the Center for Food Safety web site -- a public tool for providing input on food safety issues.
