ATTACHMT: Attachment dated 8/17/94: Letter from John Womack to Honorable Thomas H. Andrews (Std. 208)

TEXT: I was recently contacted by Betty Williams. She states that the design of the seat belt in her 1991 Chrysler is causing her discomfort. Ms. Williams went to her car dealer to have the seat belt changed but was informed that it is against the law to do so. Ms. Williams would like to know if this is true and if there is any alternative means to address this problem.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
