I am responding to the Genetically Engineered Food Question. I am  asking
the FDA to require health and ecological safety test of mandatory
labeling of Genetically Engineered Products. 
I am especially concerned about the children and the elderly.

PLEASE;
REQUIRE MANDATORY PRE-MARKET SAFETY TESTING
REQUIRE PRE-MARKET ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
REQUIRE MANDATORY LABELING OF GE FOODS
REQUIRE LABELING OF ALL NON-GE FOODS
REQUIRE MORE THEN A LETTER OF NOTIFICATION PRIOR TO THE MARKETING OF GE
FOOD
MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC HAS ACCESS TO ADEQUATE INFORMATION FOR
INDEPENDENT REVIEW

THESE FOODS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE INDUSTRY, AND OPPOSED BY CONSUMER GROUPS

THANK YOU, 
DAVID G. SPEER
