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

My family and I are opposed to the rules you are suggesting regarding GE
food.  Please heed the desires and health of the environment, not the
industries that want to make money!  This is supposed to be a government for
the people, not for the corporations!

The rules (which we oppose):
Do not require mandatory pre-market safety testing
> > * Do not require pre-market environmental review
> > * Do not require mandatory labeling of GE foods
> > * Restrict voluntary labeling of non-GE foods
> > * Require a mere letter of notification prior to the
> >   marketing of a GE food
> > * Fail to ensure public access to adequate information
> >   for independent review
> > * Are supported by industry and opposed by consumer groups
> >
Sincerely,
Lisa and Dale Brooks
