Dear Sirs:

Re: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598

I would like to comment on the lack of labeling of genetically modified 
foods. It is my opinion as a food manufacturer and consumer that all 
genetically modified food should be labeled as such. It would give 
consumers a chance to make informed decisions regarding their consumption 
of these materials. The Starlink corn fiasco has shown that there are no 
safeguards in place and that the proliferation of grains contaminated with 
the Starlink product were far reaching.
Please do not make this labeling decision without considering the publics 
right to know.

Sincerely

Gary Flanagan
