ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 7-9-90 to Pat Crahan from Paul J. Rice; A35; Std. 115 TEXT:

I had the pleasure of hearing you speak and meeting you during the AAMVA Engineering and Vehicle Inspection workshop at Lake Buena Vista, Florida in December.

I was particularly interested in the portion of your talk relating to VIN requirements for trailers. As I recall you stressed that a seventeen digit VIN was required even if a person made a trailer himself and sold it; however if it was not sold the VIN was not required.

I asked you if U-Haul was required to have the seventeen digit VIN on our trailers since we make them ourselves and they are never sold? You asked that I write to you, which is the reason for this letter.
