OK.... So what's going on with Hummve's. Same plant, same basic chassis,
etc. I heard that LTV (current maker) asked for a contract clause to be
added with the last (or earlier) contracts to require destruction (shades of
old J. Willys). Is this true????

Ha... I've been doing this since 1978. Gone thru many rep's and many
senators. Only 1, Melvin Price (now deceased) even bothered to write back
with a hint of any interest in the topic. What ussualy happens is they pass
your letter off to DOT(NHTSA) or DOD and you get a form letter back
explaining the situation (according to them). If you pursue it any further
with say logic, objectivity, and facts you just get a short turse letter
stating that they have already explained their position and please feel free
to write again. Funny that at one point (mid 80's I beleive) DOD and DOT
blamed each other. Writting won't solve anything. Lobbying with MONEY may
get somewhere.
