Ref: Made in USA policy comments.

Dear People:

I only buy a product if it says "Made in USA". If is says made in China or any other country I will not buy it even if it substantially less in price. I support our American workers, and you should to.

Example:Martha has been buying a shoe made in the United States by “Naturalizer Shoes" Now they are made in three other countries. China, Korea, and Indonesia.Not the same at all. They look alike, but made different in each country and none of them fit her properly. And you know the cheap labor cost over there. And the retail price is not any less here. The looser . The looser. We are.

What you at the FTC are promoting is DISHONESTY, When will all this devaluation of principles and dumbing down stop? Please promote honesty. This proposal of yours is not.

Sincerely.

Merlin J. Kimball
