TEXT: Dear Norm:

I am forwarding a letter from the Administrator of Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration who is requesting amending federal law to allow tinted windows on an automobile for medical reasons. Also, enclosed is the section of a letter from a constitue nt, Leonard Baklay, of Gaithersburg, who has a similar request.

I urge you to consider these comments with a view to possible legislation. It seems that something can be done to help a person with a medical problem.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
