Subject: "Made in USA" issue

I am opposed to lowering the standards applied to the labeling of USA manufactured products. It is important to the American consumer that the product labeling accurately display the place of origin so that the consumer can make an informed decision in support of American industry. With manufacturers closing and/or re-locating factories out of the country, it is more important than ever before that the label "Made in the USA" mean juat that.
