This information is needed immediately and w ill be used for internal purposes only. Because of the extremely poor economic situation in the tr a ile r industry, Fruehauf has refused our request for any July 1 price increase. We w ill attempt to use that refusal as a lever to get approval on some cost savings to us without passing any of that savings along to them. AFSchmaltz LHBoyd OHBarbazette KAZ 2 089422
