FTC: Made In The USA Comments Concerning Les T. Wiley--P894219
July 31, 1997 Ms. Elain Kolish Dear Ms. Kolish: It has been brought to our attention that the Federal Trade Commission is considering changing the requirements for the "Made in the U.S.A." label. Current requirements state that the product must be 100% made in the U.S.A. to be eligible to carry this label. Anything less than 100% made in the U.S.A. for the "Made in the U.S.A." label is unacceptable. Companies than can display the "Made in the U.S.A." label have pride in their work and they have stayed in the United States of America to produce their product. Changing the requirements for this label to anything less than 100% made in the U.S.A., would only be embracing the companies that left the United States of America to produce their product, thereby giving them the same rights as the companies who have stayed in the United States of America to produce their product, thereby employing the citizens of the United States of America. The I.B.E.W. LOCAL UNION 540 respectfully requests your support against any change to the requirements for the "Made in the U.S.A." label. Sincerely yours, Les T. WileyLes T. Wiley |
