RE: Update on NMMA Discussions

	

Hi Dick:

If you are still on line see my latest e-mail.  I thought we had a

breakthrough I could sell, but these guys went the other direction.  I'm

afraid this will be elevated if we can't make progress and then I will

not be able to influence the outcome. The last they said to me on Friday

afternoon was that under the 1200 allowances over two years per brand

option some brands would have to go earlier or do more than others and

thus it does not fit their business model. The same would be true with

the 40-80-100% they said was okay. They need to understand that it will

not be all that they want; we are making no progress. Time is running

out now.

Glenn

I think she is one of their lawyers. Don't know why she is

involved---has played NO role in this rulemaking this has got to be a

game of "telrphone" gone bad.  

John told me the only topic for the CG meeting is funding for ABYC's

installation program.  I will double check that with Phil.  I will call

Cindy Squires, but I have never spoken to her other than to say hello at

the Miami show

Hi Dick:

I understand that the communication was between Cindy Squires from NMMA

and Admiral Watson from USCG. Admiral Watson then communicated with Phil

about the May meeting and Phil communicated to me.

Glenn,

     I was not able to get in touch with Phil, but I did talk to John.

He said the ONLY issue he spoke to the CG about was a meeting to discuss

funding for canister installation instructions/ ABYC refueling program.

This is what I thought toward the end of our call this morning. John

said that he thought either there was  an agreement yesterday on the

phase-in, or we are very close.

    I will try to get in touch with Phil next week to un-scramble what I

believe is a game of "telephone."

    I am out Monday, but will try to get to Phil to see what he says.

 

Dick
