Dear Commissioner Henney,

The new proposed policy on GE foods is unacceptable.  I am 
disappointed that the FDA continues to ignore the safety concerns of 
consumers and chooses instead to help the companies developing 
biotech products.  You must change the policy on genetically 
engineered food to one that protects the rights of the consumer.

I urge you to reconsider this proposal and insure that GE foods are 
subject to pre-market testing and labeling.  Americans have a right 
to make informed decisions about the food we consume.

Sincerely,
Annie Decker
Oakland, CA
