FTC: Made In The USA Comments Concerning Genfoot America Inc. --P894219
GENFOOT AMERICA INC. 673 Industrial Park Road Littleton, NH 03561 Tel: 603-444-2668 Fax: 603-444-0865 July 29, 1997 Office of the Secretary Dear Sir, This is to advise that we were quite pleased with the proposed standard of the MADE IN USA labeling law, in light of the fact that the all or virtually all standard has become unrealistic in today's marketplace. We were troubled to learn that several members of the House of Representatives have urged the FTC to retain the old standard, and we can only assume that they have been misinformed. If their intention was to preserve employment in this country, then their resolution works in the opposite direction. To the best of our knowledge, American footwear plants simply cannot meet an all or virtually all test of MADE IN USA. Yours truly, GENFOOT AMERICA INC. Gordon Cook GC/ms |
