Enclosure Letter dated February, 1992 from Aaron Gordon to John Dingell:

Dear Honorable John Dingell,

My name is Aaron Gordon. I'm a fourth grader at Leewood Elem. School. For the last two years I have been researching seat belts on school buses. I designed a double shoulder harness that the Committee of Transportation of Florida has appropriated $25,000 to research my design.

Congressman Andy Jacobs Jr., from Indiana has writen a bill (H.R. 896) that I support. I know of your (words illegible) of the safety of children. I'm requesting the opportunity to speak on this issue, before Congress or (word illegible) committee (words illegible) public hearing is held on this bill.

Please let me know when this will take place.
