April 30, 1982 To: Health and Environmental Affairs Committee Subject: Memorandum from the Product Liability Alliance asking support for Uniform Product Liability Law At the Committee Meeting on April 28, 1982, I adivsed that the Insti tute had received a memorandum from an association advocating support of a Federal Uniform Product Liability Law. I did not have the papers at the Meeting. As a result, I was asked to distribute the papers received to the Committee for comment. Enclosed is a copy of the memorandum from The Product Liability Alliance asking for our support. The first question is whether the Institute should make a contribution of $100 to this association. I advised that there is precedence if this Is considered a worthy association--we contribute to the Automotive Information Council on an annual basis. At the Committee Meeting it was decided'that I would circulate this to the Committee Members and then would make a decision based on these comments after review by Mr. Armstrong, Chairman of the Committee, and our Legal Counsel. If you wish to comment, please have them here by May 10. EWD/e E. W. Drislane Executive Director MAR 000516
