On the recordJune 28, 2001
American farmers are quite concerned about the impact of genetically engineered products on their markets, because if their markets begin to dry up, as they have in some countries, then American farmers are not able to sell what we know is the best agriculture in the world, here from America. But if the products are genetically engineered, if there has not been much study and there is concern about quality, safety and other things, then our farmers can endure economic loss. So I want to again thank the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Tierney) for raising this issue, and I hope that the gentleman would respectfully consider his amendment as being in order.
