Federal Trade Commission Received Documents Jan. 22, 1996 B18354900083 January 18, 1996 Office of the Secretary Federal Trade Commission Room 159 Washington, D.C. 20580 To Whom It May Concern: I'm writing in regards to the statement of what it means to say "Made in U.S.A.". I believe we should stay with high standards of manufacturing, with a joint effort of labor, unionized or not, and company in the stamping of this title in a visible place that is durable, not in the use of stickers or labels, which should be prohibited, these wear off after the first use usually. Stamp on the product, as well as marked on the box or container shipped within. No other types of statements should be used like Made in America, Assembled in U.S.A. or Assembled in America. These statements tend to make me disbelieve in the product. Keep to only one title. To qualify for this statement in standards, you need to know that the raw materials were used from the U.S.A., and manufactured in the U.S.A., with these monies being redistributed in the U.S.A. to keep economic growth. Raw materials may be imported when availability is not here and in the subject of cost, may encourage new suppliers in the U.S.A. to get started at a competitive advantage, which also promotes growth. I have shopped "Made in U.S.A." and believe my dollar is a best cost when doing so in value and quality, which comes from the high productivity of this total work force. If we don't watch our dollar, we will be as extinct as some animals in this world, on our economic society for the future that we bestow on our children. Yours truly, Edward D. Dzurko EDWARD D.
