ATTACHMT: Attached To Letter Dated 6/3/94 From John Womack To Michael S. Marczynski (A42; Std. 108; 205; 208; 216; 302; VSA 109(A)(2)(A))

TEXT: Dear Chief Council,

This letter is in regards to a telephone conversation on 12-14-93 with a Mr. Entwhistle of your Washington office. The topic of the conversation was about obtaining a formal written notice from you concerning the legal installation of roll pans, and convertible tops on light-duty pick-up trucks. Some of our customers have expressed concern over the legal aspects of having these items installed in their vehicles. If at all possible, could you please address this issue in letter form for us. We are a professional body/paint shop located in Lansing, Michigan, and would like to perform this after-market installation as a service to our customers. I feel a written letter would carry more validity for us.

Thank-you for your time. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at (517) 487-2220.

Sincerely,
