Hello:  I am writing to express my strong concern about the proposed rules governing genetically modified products in our food supply.  Please know that I believe that the whole subject of genetically engineered foods is still too new to know with any certainty whether or not there is any possible hazard and I think that it is very important to thoroughly test these products before they are given the OK to be marketed.  I also believe absolutely that there should be mandatory labeling of any food containing genetically modified ingredients.  I have the right to choose what I put into my body.  By not requiring labeling you rob me of some very important information that I need to make an informed decision.  Our founding fathers designed our system of government in a way that limited the power of government believing in an informed electorates' ability to make wise decisions.  Keeping this type in basic information from the public goes against everything our forefathers fought for.  Please don't make this decision for me.  Give me the information so that I may make my own decisions. 
            Thank you. 
            Sincerely;          Mark E. Miller
