TEXT: Dear Mr. Egley:

This is in reply to your letter to me regarding your Sudden Stop Flasher.

I do not work in the section of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which could appropriately respond to your question. Therefore, I have forwarded your letter to Mr. Ralph Hitchcock, Director, Office of Vehicle Safety Standards with a re quest that his office respond to you. I am certain you will be hearing from someone about your inquiry in the near future.

Thank you for your interest in preventing motor vehicle crashes.

Sincerely,
