From: Dennis and Robin Rowe, US citizens

We are strongly favor strict regulation of genetically engineered foods.
We feel Americans have the right to know what they are eating, and that
the FDA should not decide for us.

Here are our feelings about what the FDA should now about GE foods:

1. Require mandatory pre-market safety testing.

2. Require pre-market environmental review

3. Require mandatory labeling of all GE foods in any products

4. Permit voluntary labeling of non-GE foods

5. Require extensive notification prior to the marketing of a GE food

6. Ensure public access to adequate information for independent review

Thank you for your consideration of what the public wants to eat.
