Dear Honorable Henney:

I am sending you an emphatic request that you change your current policy
regarding the labeling of genetically modified foods.
I emphatically request as a USA Taxpaying Citizen that you require
labling and pre-market safety testing of ALL genetically engineered
foods.
We live in a democracy here, where we pride ourselves in choice.
To cloak our foodstuffs in a veil of secrecy in order to protect certain
business ventures corrupts the very principles that our forefathers had
in mind when they set up this free country of ours. 
Please let us consumers decide for ourselves whether we wish to purchase
and eat genetically modified foods, by requiring labels to honestly let
us know what is in the package.

Thank you.


Stephen Levine,
