The substance of the solution you have arrived at, which includes warning labels, allowing depowered air bags, and public education to increase seat belt use and awareness of airbag capabilities, is sound.
Air bags are.
I have enclosed a copy of the article to which I refer. I have enclosed two newspaper articles from that era for your information. Presumably, the documents and studies of that era are either still within the custody of the agency, or could be obtained easily. In any event, it is clear from the public record that in developing the airbag standard, at least one of your predecessors chose to ignore early warnings and press ahead regardless. I am aware that there is a frantic attempt by some of those involved in setting the airbag standard to rewrite history to evade or erase their own role and responsibility.
