ATTACHMT: Attached To Letter Dated 10/26/94 From Philip R. Recht To Debra Platt (A42; STD, 222)

TEXT: Is a child partially sitting on a bus seat provided crash protection of Standard 222?

I am referring to the third child (older children) sitting on the remaining few inches of a bus seat, not able to face forward, but facing the seat across the aisle.

I implore you to respond as soon as possible. There is a possibility that the safety of many, many young lives are compromised daily.
