Subject: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598

To whom it may concern:
 
I am very concerned and alarmed about the following propsed rules:
* Do not require mandatory pre-market safety testing
* Do not require pre-market environmental review
* Do not require mandatory labeling of GE foods
* Restrict voluntary labeling of non-GE foods
* Require a mere letter of notification prior to the
  marketing of a GE food
* Fail to ensure public access to adequate information
  for independent review

FDA should act on behalf of consumers, and not with the industries whose primary concern is to make profit.  I want to know what I am intaking into my body, and if it's genetically reengieered, I want to know so I can refuse them.
Please act responsibly.  It's not right.  We have the right to know what we are consuming.  The porposed rules are very dangerous.  I for one am strongly against it.  Thank you for listening.
 
Regards,
Jean Yoo
