Aloha,
      From information which I have received from concerned citizens, I am
now concerned about genetically engineered food products going out to
consumers without sufficient testing and labelling. Even if these have received
acceptable testing by scientific standards, I believe that people have the right
to know all about what they are eating. I am also concerned about individuals
who have the resposibility to protect the public in your agency having
conflicts of interest due to previous employment and possible economic interests in companies who benefit from marketing these genetically engineered products.
                                        Thank you for you consideration
                                                 sincerely
                                                                    Steve Backinoff
                                                                      backinoff@midpac.net
