Vista Chemical Company 900 Threadneedle Houston, Texas 77079 (713) 588-3000 P.O. Box 19029 Houston, Texas 77224 Fax <713) 588-3236 June 12, 1990 Ms. Claudette Cofta Chemical Manufacturers Association 2501 M. Street Washington, D.C. 20037 Dear Claudette: Further to our discussion on environmental labeling at the June 4 Product Safety Committee meeting, I am forwarding copies of correspondence from the Coalition of Northeastern Governors on Model State Recycling Emblem Regulations and New York and Rhode Island proposals for establishing voluntary recycling emblems. Although these issues are being discussed under the "banner" of environmental labeling, they are focused on the narrower issue of recycling potential or recycled sources for packaging and to a lesser degree, contents. The CONEG information contains a "model" bill that attempts to define recycling terms and set authority for using recycling emblems on packages. Sincerely, 1 ^ -------------- Thomas G. Grumbles, C.I.H. Environmental Quality Manager dlj / VVV 000013118
