BIO likes Bush

They're in support of renewable energy and free trade support in the '07 Farm Bill :

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) today praised the far-reaching initiatives contained in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2007 Farm Bill Proposals to encourage the production of biofuels and biobased products from renewable agricultural resources, as well as ensure fairness of international trade for agriculture.

"The 2007 Farm Bill proposals show the Administration's support of biotechnology in both industrial and agricultural applications," said Jim Greenwood, president and CEO of BIO. "We greatly appreciate the Administration's demonstrated commitment to support companies researching and commercializing both ethanol from cellulose and biobased products from renewable agricultural resources. The proposals related to international trade illustrate the importance of internationally accepted regulatory standards, many of which affect biotech crops."
