I am contacting you to request that your organization
implement the following guidelines:

1.That you require extensive testing with regard to the
impact on Human health and the environment, especially in
the area of agriculture, before any Genetically Engineered
foods can be allowed in the public marketplace.
2. That any Genetically Engineered foods that are in or that
will be in the public marketplace be labeled as such so that
everyone can make an informed decision as to whether or not
to incorporate them into their lives.
3. That you enact requirements to put an end to the conflict
of interest that has existed in your organization with
individuals who have any connection with the organizations
that you are suppose to be monitoring.This includes people
coming into your organization from these companies or that
leave your organization to work for one of the companies.
Thank you for your consideration of my input.

Sincerely,
Harlan Scott
