The secretary of the Federal Trade Commission, Washington, D.C.  20580.

Dear Sir:

  I saw Ms. Berstein on CNBC today and was surprised that she seemed to advocate dilecting the meaning of
the words "Made in the U.S.,".
  Only products that are truly "Made in the U.S." should be allowed to make that claim.  Products assembled
in the U.S. could advertise that fact.
  We should be encouraging manufacturers and consumers to take pride in articles made in the U.S. and avoid
making the phrase meaningless.
                                   Sincerely 

                                   Helen Lyons
