     Re: DJ 202-PL-436

Dear Ms. Blizzard:

     On January 13, 1993, I wrote to your office requesting a
written interpretation of Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act. L. Irene Bowen, of your office, confirmed
receipt of my request in her letter dated February 18, 1993. As of
this date, I have not yet received a written response to this
inquiry.

     As you might understand, our client is extremely anxious to
get a written clarification from your office, confirming the oral
interpretation we received back in January. I would appreciate 
your efforts to expedite your review of this matter. If you have 
any questions, or if I can be of any assistance in clarifying the
issues, please contact me at (816) 421-3355.

                                      Very truly yours,

                                      G. WILLIAM QUATMAN
