RE: Proposed Made in U.S.A. guidelines change

The reason I do not own a VCR, camcorder, camera, sewing machine, newer T.V. etc., is because they are not made in America. I buy American or I do without.

First we lower our standard of living by sending our jobs overseas. Are we to lower our labeling standards now? Why did we get into global competition anyway? The people did not want it, big business did. Let them be stuck with it.

Please do not make Made in U.S.A. complicated. Keep Made in U.S.A. simple, beautiful and meaningful by leaving it like it is.

Sincerely,

Bruce Bennington
