After reading Assemblyman John Kelly's letter to the FDA regarding the lack
of testing for fluoride, I felt strongly that I should add my voice to the
din of concern.  Legislators in my area are currently working (Senate Bill
99) to have the water supply of my city (Portland, Oregon) fluoridated.  I
vehemently oppose this idea for several reasons, primarily:

1)  The FDA has not studied and approved this process, and the possible
health risks of water supply fluoridation need to be studied further.

2)  We should not spend our public funds on programs that have not been
proven to be worthwhile.

Thank you for your attention.
