TEXT: Dear Mr. Schamblin:

Your letter to Elizabeth Hanford Dale. Secretary of Transportation, was forwarded to me for response.

Thank you for sending the sample of the Flag-It Fluorescent Safety Signaling Device and the information that it is being manufactured in the United States. We share your concern with the problem of school bus safety and appreciate your efforts to develop a device to reduce the problem. However, as I am sure you can understand, government agencies cannot endorse commercial products.

Thank you, again, for your interest in improving highway safety.

Sincerely,
