' forces in the United States, where there has been little opposition to GEA, are borrowing pages from the European handbook and agitating for limits and even bans on it. There is a role for legitimate study and oversight of GEA. But when there are almost 1 billion .malnourished people in the world, we cannot allow plain and simple fear and ignorance to prevail. Thats why we must prevent GEA opponents from manipulating governments, the media, the courts and the arena of public opinion here in America- - and from further distorting the issue abroad. We also must ensure that regulations governing food production are based on sound science and common sense- - not politics. For example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency announced in August that it would place restrictions on two widely available and inexpensive pesticides used to d, U.S. Chamber of Commerce president With Thanksgiving around the corner, its a good time for us to think about our food supply and how we can increase food security across the world. Much of the battle to conquer world hunger will be fought in labs and research facilities. But an equally important part will be fought in the public policy arena, where we 'heed' to advance an agenda that supports innovation and change." ' , In order to set the stage for world good growth, to encourage peace, and to raise standards of living, we envineed to first promote a vigorous ronment in which technological advances are embraced, not resisted. After all, American business has been in the forefront of developing methods to improve crop yields, grow plants and vegetables that are richer in nutrients and resistant to disease, and reduce reliance on pesticides. Unfortunately, hysteria has been spreading through precisely the same corners of the world that have most benefited from modern technology. Recently, the target has been genetically enhanced protect everything from crops to the family dog. By the EPAs own admission, the science involved was agriculture (GEA). Just as we stand on the verge of an exciting new era in which we can multiply the amount of world food available, using less land, incurring less cost and providing more benefit, there are many people- - many of whom live in privileged countries with plentiful o do not see GEA and GEA research as what it is: a tool to help feed hungry people. The activists have not "enormously challenging. Unfortunately, the agency was under pressure from environmental and other groups ana was guilty of a political rush to judgment.

Instead, to have more food at lower prices, lets insist on a sensible regulatory regime that balances costs and benefits and uses sound sci- Business ence in developing regulations. We must also support free trade and an international system that lets us export our products" Trade is important to world food security - it helps countries grow stronger, and improve their citizens standard of living. Thats why it is so critical that we work to knock down barriers between countries. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is involved in measures to open up trade around the world. The chamber will send a delegation to the World Trade Associates of Dealer Organization's Millennium Round of multilateral trade negotiations in at the end of this month in Seattle, Wash. The chamber's agenda includes support of measures to further reduce trade barriers, especially for agriculture, and to expand market access. And members have kicked our trade education effort into high gear- - we will forge coalitions and spread the protrade message all across the country. The bottom line is that we must take food off the political table and put it on the dining room table. With a sensible regulatory environment and an open world trade systems, we can move forward and achieve this goal. Motor Vehicle: ,.j, !
