Re: MADE IN THE USA LABELS

Come on you politicians!!!!!!

How much money is being traded for the privilege of hoodwinking the American public?

I always check labels of anything I buy - if it says "Made in China" or any other foreign country, I do not buy it. I'll more for a "Made in the USA" product. So you can say there's one person who doesn't believe in the "global" econompayy - you're correct. First, last and always I am an American and will support American products.

Do not dilute the power of this label by stating if partially made or assembled in the US, the manufacturer can use the "Made in the USA" label. The product must be totally manufactured in our country to deserve that honor.

After 8/11/97, I'll be watching the news to see how you (the FTC) decided this important matter. I hope it won't be news of the latest sleight of hand of the FTC.

Sincerely

M. Pat Hathaway
