From: William Fitzgerald [crumaboo@bellsouth.net] Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2001 11:46 PM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598 * The FDA must require mandatory pre-market comprehensive environmental review. * The FDA must require mandatory pre-market long-term health testing. * The FDA must require mandatory labeling of GE products. Without mandatory labeling, neither consumers nor health professionals will know if an allergic or toxic reaction was the result of a genetically engineered food. Consumers would be deprived of the critical knowledge needed to hold food producers liable should any of these novel products be hazardous. Carole Fitzgerald
