“This information was reconstructed from memory. I wrote a letter to nhsta in 1995. Though I no longer own the car (I sold it in april 2000) I am entering this data at this time, because of today's press release regarding the Mitsubishi coverup. I hope this will assist nhsta in it's investigation against mitsibushi. Please check back files for copies of documents submitted with my 1995 letter. Debbie ryan”
