TEXT:

Enclosed are two letters provided to the Subcommittee regarding the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 214. If the reply of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is accurate, it is troubling. I request your review. Does the law now prohibit or prevent its application to replacement parts of foreign and domestic vehicles? If not, could it be interpreted to apply? Please explain.

I request your reply within 30 days after receipt of this letter.
