   Comments: The plant breeding industry has never had such a demand for trained personnel at eh BSC, MSC and PHD levels worldwide. CGIAR centers have and continue to be teh main and sometimes only source of sustainable food varieties for developing countries as these issues are not being addressed by industry alone. The problem of training lant breders has been recognized nationally and globally. As Plant breeding, thus food production is a global problem, even in developped countries as germplasm development is carried out globally to maximize speed and testing of varieties. Cutting funds for these important programs is not responsible to our future generations.

   Comments: As a returned Peace Corps volunteer (Malawi, '81-83), I have seen how important agricultural assistance and research is for the developing world. I strongly urge that the planned funding cuts be reversed.

    Comments: The CGIAR system has been vital in improving the crops of developing countries and its role is critical now that food prices are rising at the same time that we are cutting back on funding agricultural research.

    Comments: Support of the CGIAR centers is vital to the stability of world food production. It is a highly cost-effective opportunity to improve world food production. Cutting contributions to CGIAR is short -sighted and ill-advised.

    Comments: The CGIAR centers provide an important foundation from which contributions to the improvement of agriculture for developing countries can occur. Without their involvement the progress that these centers have made in the past are likely to be lost. I encourage the reinstatement of funds for the CGIAR centers.

    Comments: Alleviating world hunger is more than a mere altruistic intent--a destabilized world economy due to food-shortage will make USA security more vulnerable to terrorism. We can secure US a lot better by feeding than by dombing.

    Comments: Ignorance to the global threat of our shortage of plant breeders along with the potential of biotechnology enhancing our environmental and agricultural sustainability are why I wish to sign this important letter.
