TEXT:

Please find enclosed a copy of a Ford-Rent-A-Car System Bulletin that was sent to Ford dealers last week. As you can see, the bulletin concern the rental of vans to be used to transport students. We have had 15-Passenger rental vans in service for the past 15 years and probably the biggest customer we have are the schools in our area. I cannot understand the reasoning behind this regulation. This vehicle is probably one of the safest means o f transporting students. Any information you can give to me as to the reasoning behind this regulation, or information on who to contact to give us more details would be very much appreciates.

Thank you for you help.
