Subject: MADE IN THE USA

Gentlemen:

I certainly am in favor of free trade, but I am also in favor of truth

in advertising. I believe that if an article states "Made in USA" that

it should be assembled in the USA by American citizens of components

that are all or virtually all produced in the USA. When I buy a product

that says "Made in USA" and buy it for that reason, I expect it to be

true. I am against the proposed change to the designation.

Joseph A, Balbona
