Remarks On Regulating Genetically Modified Foods In The United States, L. Val Giddings
Remarks On Regulating Genetically Modified Foods In The United States, L. Val Giddings
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Thank you. I’m glad to be here today. Before I launch into my prepared remarks, I do want to correct a couple of things that Greg has just told you. Just for full disclosure, Greg and I shared an office about eighteen years ago when we both worked for the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment. When I arrived in Washington, I spent five years working as an analyst on these sorts of issues. So as I’m about to pound on Greg for knowing a number of things that don’t happen to be true, please be aware that I’m not really …

Thank you all. In my opinion, containment of pharmaceutical GM crops is essential and hard to do. The USDA just recently came up with some new guidelines for genetically modified pharm plants, but how can the public have an input into what’s going on if they don’t even know where the crops are growing, or what’s in the crops, because this is protected as confidential business information? Should the public have a say? How would we accomplish--giving the public a say about whether they want genetically engineered wheat, even aside from the export issues. Third, I understand GE salmon is …
Panel Remarks On Liability: Liability For Farming?, Rachel G. Lattimore
Panel Remarks On Liability: Liability For Farming?, Rachel G. Lattimore
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Good afternoon. To begin, I’d like to thank Ed Wallis and the Richmond Journal of Law & Tech- nology for inviting me to speak on such a distinguished panel. And I’d like to tell you one thing about myself that is not in my fancy lawyer biography. I grew up on a small family farm down in North Caro- lina, so I learned from an early age about the different types of genetic manipulations that go on a farm, from breeding cattle to grafting apple trees, which if you’re fourteen years old, consists of spending your entire Spring Break taking …

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I have an enormous opportunity and challenge. Here I am, the final speaker, on this final panel, on this beautiful Friday afternoon, on this beautiful campus. Stay “tuned” for just a few more minutes to hear my remarks regarding liability issues and then we will adjourn to the great outdoors.
Regulating Genetically Modified Foods: Is Mandatory Labeling The Right Answer?, Gregory Conko
Regulating Genetically Modified Foods: Is Mandatory Labeling The Right Answer?, Gregory Conko
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Thank you. It’s a very common mistake to believe that consumers could only have a choice if the government requires mandatory labeling of genetically engineered food. My question back to you, Jean, is, exactly what kind of information do consumers get if all you do is label the product as “Genetically Engineered?” We can take this up later in the debate part of our panel discussion. I think the one thing that we can all agree on, however, is that the food label is a very important source of information to consumers.
Panel Remarks On Liability: Liability For Refusing To Use Agricultural Biotechnology, Drew Kershen
Panel Remarks On Liability: Liability For Refusing To Use Agricultural Biotechnology, Drew Kershen
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Good afternoon. I’m very pleased to be here. I appreciate the offer and the invitation from the Richmond Journal of Law & Technology to speak at this conference. This final panel is really about liability issues related to genetically modified foods or transgenic crops. Now I just want to quickly introduce these three people, and I’m going to start on my far side with Rachel Lattimore. Rachel Lattimore is a lawyer with the firm of Arent Fox in Washington D.C., and she is going to focus her talk – and we’ve sort of agreed among ourselves so we don’t step …

Remarks On Regulating Genetically Modified Foods In The United States, David Hegewood
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
I would like to thank the Richmond Journal of Law & Technology for inviting me this afternoon and for organizing this forum. I’ve never been on Crossfire, and it’s easy to see why Val has, so I probably won’t be quite as entertaining. In fact most of what I wanted to say this afternoon has already been said in one form or another. Val just stole the last one with the Watson and Crick Fiftieth Anniversary. What I want to do is maybe give you more of a sense of perspective and then go over some of the facts.
