To the FDA:
    I am writing to strongly urge you to provide the following controls for
Genetically Engineered (GE) foods:
    * Require mandatory pre-market safety testing
    * Require pre-market environmental review
    * Require mandatory labeling of GE foods
    * Provide for voluntary labeling of non-GE foods
    * Ensure public access to adequate information
    for independent review.

    The safety of our food requires that you NOT fall prey to industry
pressure.  GE foods are not adequately tested.  The danger is too great.

    Thank you for your time and careful consideration of these critical
issues.
