Dear Ms. Miller:

I have been contacted by C.B. Matusiak of Arlington, Virginia, expressing concern about regulations governing product labels. I am enclosing a copy of the correspondence I’ve received.

I would appreciate it if you could review the letter and respond directly to this Virginian about the issues raised. Many thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Dear Senator Robb :

U.S. working men and women and consumers need your help.

The Federal Trade Commission says "Made in U.S.A." in advertisements and on product labels should no longer have to mean what it says.

Currently, for the most part, consumers can be confident that "Made in U.S.A." means "all or virtually all" domestic parts and labor, as you know.

To permit less than "all or virtually all" would be to perpetrate a fraud on the American public and open even wider the door to U.S. jobs being moved overseas.

The FTC must be called to task by you and the other members of Congress.

Sincerely,
Name C.B. Matusiak
