From: anne whitefield [annew@madison.main.nc.us] Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2001 4:35 PM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598 I urge you to require labeling of genetically modified foods and report tests of these new foods. The FDA must end its cozy relationship with the industries it purports to be regulating. People have been allowed to work for a biotech company, then work for the FDA writing the regulatory rules on that company's product, then go back to working for the company. Ninety-two percent of FDA advisory committee meetings had at least one conflict of interest. Anne Whitefield 2330 Woolyshot Branch Rd. Hot Springs, NC 28743 828.622.7603
