Dear Jane Henney,


Because of the numerous unknowns regarding genetically
engineered foods, and because of the potential risks
and dangers personally and environmentally inherent
in such foods, please reverse your current guidelines
so that comprehensive safety testing is mandatory for
genetically engineered foods. 

We also demand mandatory labeling of genetically engineered
foods. 

Please do not sell out to the industrial food and chemical
barons.  Think of and serve the individual consumers,
whose health you are committed to protecting. 




Sincerely,


Gene and Doris Peters
