Subject: Biotech Foods

To whom it may concern:
I am very concerned after learning the proposed rules for allowing genetically engineered foods into the US marketplace.  As a US citizen and taxpayer, I must INSIST on the following before introduction of each and every such product:
-a pre-market comprehensive environmental review
- pre-market long-term health testing
- mandatory labelling of all GE foods
- any and all persons currently or previously associated with any biotech company recuse themselves from the decision-making process relating to approval and/or introduction of genetically engineered foods to the US marketplace.

Anything less is grossly irresponsible and reprehensible conduct and likely will lead to myriad health problems and environmental damage that can not be repaired.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Burdette
