WASHINGTON, District of Columbia USA — After a careful and complete review of all options, TRA President Bruce Kelly, TRA Vice President Dick Embry and NAR President Mark Bundick, along with Joe Egan and Marty Malsch of our legal team, met on Friday, July 14, 2000 with ATF staff and counsel to discuss potential settlement of our lawsuit filed against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
During the two hour session, a frank and open discussion occurred and for which, we believe, full consideration of our Associations' positions were given due attention by ATF representatives. Further details cannot be disclosed, as the meeting was protected by legal privilege granted under the Administrative Procedures Act.
All legal options remain open at this time for us to pursue relief from improper and unnecessary regulation of the sport rocket hobby, and we pledge to continue the fight to protect your hobby interests. We appreciate the continued financial and moral support by our members for this battle. That support insures the maximum resources possible are devoted to the effort to protect our safe, educational hobby.
As always, when we have additional status details we can report to members, we will share them as soon as possible.
Mark Bundick, NAR President
Bruce Kelly, TRA President |
