TEXT: Dear Ms. Bruce:

On behalf of my constituent, Blanche Kozak, I am enclosing a copy of letters which Mrs. Kozak sent last year to Barry Felrice, the Associate Administrator for Rulemaking for NHTSA and to the General Counsel of the DOT concerning the Cushman 404 vehicl e. As you will see from the enclosures, Mrs. Kozak's husband died following an accident in the Cushman 404 and she is interested in determining the regulatory status of this vehicle. Mrs. Kozak has not received a response to either of the enclosed lett ers. We would appreciate any assistance you could provide to prompt a response to these letters.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation. If you need any additional information, please feel free to contact Josie Gump in my district office.

Sincerely,

Enclosure
