To Whom it May Concern,
    Fifty or so years ago, nuclear energy was touted as a "cure all" for our
enormous energy demands; over the years, it has proven otherwise. We now
know how dangerous the waste from reactors are. We are in the same position
in relation to G. E. Foods. We don't know the longterm ramifications.

    Make the rules governing G.E. Foods as strict as possible. Allow
independent tests to be made on these foods, which would let the public make
an educated decision.

    The proposed 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
* Are supported by industry and opposed by consumer groups
    
    People like myself and my family, who have food allergies, are scared to
death about any untested foods entering our bodies.

    I pray to God that the FDA makes the right decisions on this topic.

                                                In God We Trust,

                                                    Dana A. Jordan
