To Mr. Tom Caquette, Deputy Executive Director

Dear Tom:

Perhaps we ought to look at the big picture... and what might that
be? Well it actually has to do with the ramifications of bidding
against out-of-state contractors on an equal playing field.

Those primes most likely will not have to conform with these
draconian regulations as far as we can ascertain... therefore they
will have a leg up on us, i.e., since their out-of-pocket-expenses
do not involve compliance we'll be effectively cut out of the
picture.... Which as a consequence will no doubt have catastrophic
results for California's construction industry.

We should therefore not sit idly by and allow the hammer to fall
without contemplating litigation as a potential remedy... if push
comes to shove.

In summation let us not fail to consider the potentially
detrimental fallout before implementation, Tom.

Thank you and the CARB Board for their consideration in this
matter.

Look forward to interfacing with you in the near future.

P.S.: The USEPA probably needs to sign off on this. Our guess is
that they will demur at this juncture....
