TITLE: Neil Rowe

ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 7/1/94 from John Womack to George W. Sudenga (A42; STD. 106) and letter dated 5/18/94 from John Womack to Neil Rowe.

TEXT: I represent Neil Rowe who has corresponded with you historically concerning his "Glad Grip". I visited with you via telephone communication on May 12, 1994 and am happy to report that a response has come from the NHTSA, Mr. John Womack.

By way of reference I am enclosing a reproduced copy of the letter to Neil dated May 18, 1994.

The contents of the letter, unfortunately, are vague to both myself and Mr. Rowe. We would like to market the Glad Grip, both as an improvement to the present system of hooking up airlines, and ultimately for use in new equipment. We would like appro val of NHTSA in advance of major marketing efforts. If possible, I would like to impose on you and the engineering offices and receive suggestions as to additional testing that might be provided with positive results that when forwarded to NHTSA would r esult in advance approval. Please help.
