Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert is schedule to release a report today finding GE foods are safe to eat and no more dangerous in the field than traditional plants. "The Administration should work to ensure markets for products of agricultural biotechnology are not restricted by scientifically unsound measures," according to a summary of the report. "Much of the opposition to agricultural biotechnology is politically motivated, not scientifically based." (The White House Bulletin, "Hastert, Smith to Release Report Supporting Genetically Modified Foods," April 13.)
