Attn.: Robert Pitofsky, Chairman

In a previous ruling the FTC declared that in order for a product to be labeled "Made in the USA"
all or virtually all of that product must be domestically made.  This is a fair and sensible ruling.

As an American Consumer who looks for the "Made in the USA" label, I do not wish that this
ruling be altered.  When buying a product with this label I am assured that my purchase is
supporting American tax paying workers and jobs here at home.  Any change in this ruling would
jeopardize this assurance.

If a product manufacturer wants to meet the requirements of the label, they should move
production of their product to the USA, not lobby to alter the existing ruling to fit their desires.

                           Sincerely,


                            Nick Kotur
