Subject: Dept of Interior letter supporting GMOs

GEAT

Earlier today, I sent this email -
Very bad news ... The National Wildlife Refuge System's system-wide ban
on neonics and GMOs has been withdrawn by Trump and Zinke (Secretary of
the Interior).
It took many years of litigation and advocacy by the Center for Food
Safety and PEER (with the assist of the Sierra Club genetic engineering
committee) before the Fish and Wildlife Service adopted those bans,
effective 2015. New strategies are considered.

I am now sending you the trash letter from our Dept of the Interior.
This is public info.

Btw, I spent weeks finding Sierra Clubbers who lived in the appropriate
areas to work w CFS to get the ban accomplished.
