FTC: Made In The USA Comments Concerning Sharon Arakawa--P894219

8/10/97

Made in the US Policy Comment
Office of the Secretary
Federal Trade Commission Room 159
Sixth and Pennsylvania. NW
Washington, DC 20580

Dear Sirs:

Please keep the "Made in the U. S. A" label true to its' original intent and meaning. As a consumer of products and goods, many times it is important to me that I buy products made in the U.S.A. The proposed change is actually deceptive representation to consumers. I for the most part steer away from products made in foreign countries that exploit their labor forces.

It is my opinion as a citizen, that these proposed standards serve no useful purpose. In fact, if implemented, these standards could seriously impact American made products and in turn impact our economy and labor structures.

In Conclusion,

I urge you to keep the "Made in the U.S.A. labeling" just as it is.

Sincerely

Sharon Arakawa
