From: CasMalFarm@aol.com Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 10:01 PM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598 I am apalled that the FDA has taken such an irresponsible position in regard to genetically modified organisms that are used in foods. I do not want to consume these products without the fullest research being done honestly and with integrity. Further, I insist that GE materials in foods and food products be clearly and always labeled on the product offered for sale. I am aware of the relationships that the FDA has had with companies such as Monsanto and it looks bad to me. Everyone I talk to is aware of GE and they are all wary of the entire technology. And everyone I speak to wants to have any GE material content in foods to be clearly labeled. Listen to us, the people whom the FDA is supposed to serve and protect. Sincerely, Michael Malone
