<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Murashige, Laura <br /> <br /> From: John Langenstein Oohnlangenstein@yahoo.com] RE I ED <br /> Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 2:36 PM IM ED <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Resolution 463-08 2008 JON 23 RM 9 18 <br /> Aloha Hawaii County Council, COUW1, ; il' <br /> <br /> I would like to testify in favor of resolution 463-08 to support H.B 1557 H.D.1. to impose <br /> a mortatorium on the planting of GMO coffee on Hawaii Island. This is critical for the <br /> survival of our heritage crop of Kona Coffee as our century old reputation was and is <br /> built upon our Kona Typica variety grown in Kona for the past 150 years or so. <br /> We believe that even the slightest suggestion of GMO coffee being grown on our Island <br /> could ruin one of our best import areas for our product ( Japan & Asia It would also <br /> not be in the best interest for all of the Hawaii Island coffees as it would adversely <br /> impact forever the ability to reach these and other markets. <br /> Please help Hawaii County coffee farmers preserve a very necessary, local agricultural <br /> product from being compromised. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> John J.
