RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
 
I always want to know what is in the foods I purchase.  I
do not want to purchase food that is genetically engineered
unless I know about it.  

I believe genetically engineered foods should be tested
thoroughly before being marketed.  What happens to the over-
all eco-system with these plants?  No one knows, and I believe the FDA 
 should take this concern very seriously.

FDA proposed guidelines seem very cavalier to me--please test any 
genetically modified foods for their complete 
environmental impact.  Also, please make labeling mandatory.

Thank you for your consideration of my remarks.

Sincerely,

Pat Cramer
