ATTACHMT: Attached to 1/4/95 letter from Philip R. Recht to Forbes Howard (A43; VSA 102(3))

TEXT: Dear Mr. Womack:

About a year ago, we talked with two of your attorneys about the super golf car we were developing. Our "Runabout" is now ready to go into limited production. We need to get the letter from you confirming that our vehicles are not required to meet the c urrent national safety standards for automobiles.

We assume the 23,000 plus golf cars now registered in Arizona, many of which go 25 mph, have not been required to meet these standards.

Our cars are safer than golf cars by being wider, longer, and they include doors, seat belts, wipers, etc. and will have a top speed of 29 mph.

The enclosed photographs and specifications will familiarize you with one model of our vehicles. Please call me at my North Carolina office if you have any questions. Thank you for your prompt attention to our need.

Very truly yours,

Enclosures
