Aloha,
I am a mother and farmer on the island of Kauai. I strongly believe that
biotechnology is a new science that does not understand it's p®tential for great
harm. ~sinJ our home, the islands of Ma~nraii aS a test ground is unacceptable
and greatly disturbs me and questions my trust of our current administration and
it's priorities.
Although I am not a resident of the island of Hawaii, or a coffee grower, I am
highly self-educated on the issue of genetically engineered organisms and the
potential risks that they offer. These risks are too high and I am ashamed of
those tha# would assume that vfte, the citizens of Hawaii, could afford to take
these risks.
Obviously I am in support of resolution 236-02 and urge you to support this bill.
Thank you f®r your tirrte,
l~osa Silver ~d=~'---
