>> Dear Mrs. XXXX:
>>
>> Thank you for writing to express your concerns regarding the
>> Codex Alimentarius legislation proposed under the World Trade
>> Organization (WTO). I appreciate the time you took to write.
>>
>> I understand your serious concern regarding this issue. As you
>> know, the WTO is an international body which addresses the rules of
>> trade between countries. At its heart are the WTO agreements,
>> negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world's trading nations, which
>> provide the legal ground-rules for international commerce. They are
>> essentially contracts, binding governments to keep their trade policies
>> within agreed limits.
>>
>> The availability of dietary supplements to the public is
>> important, but it is equally important that these supplements do not put
>> the consumer's health at stake. I believe that if we are to ensure the
>> safety of those who consume dietary supplements, we must make sure
>> that these supplements are not hazardous to their health. We cannot
>> allow deaths, such as those caused by the dietary supplement Ephedra, to
>> continue. Please know that I will continue to monitor the work of the
>> WTO and be sure to keep your thoughts in mind as I do so.
>>
>> Again, thank you for writing. I hope that you will continue to
>> keep me informed of your views and concerns. If you should have
>> further questions regarding this or any other issue, please do not hesitate
>> to contact my Washington, D.C office at (202) 224-3841, or visit my
>> website at http://feinstein.senate.gov.
