Dear Sirs:

     I am writing about the article in the U.S.A. Today.  "Made in the U.S.A." means exactly that!  If the
sole is made in China, it should say so.  I recently bought a flower with changing color lights for a 93 year old
lady in a nursing home.  The clerk had told me it was made in the U.S.A. When I opened the box at home,
inside it said, Made in Taiwan.  I took it back and was told that it was put together in the U.S.A. with
components made in Taiwan.  I highly resent this!  I do not trust electrical products made in Taiwan.  Also,
while on the subject, I resent winter coats I've seen "Made in Russia" or Ukraine, where Kiev is the Capitol
and the Chernobyl nuclear incident hit so close to home.  Students in our Schools came home the night before
it was announced on T.V. in this Country, and they had been over there.  A Country that was going to bury
us, leaves me suspicious of anything they try to sell us.  How do we know it's safe?  What is our protection
against such items?  Is there anyway we can find out if the coats are safe?
     We are retired and my husband fought in WWII. We sometimes wonder, for what?  We have no
rights as consumers anymore.  The greed in this country as well as others is horrible to see.  Morals, do not
exist anymore.  We don't know what we buy is legal or not and whether safe to bring home.

Very truly yours,
