Opinion Letter
June 23, 1970
Dear Mr. Reynolds:

This is in response to your request for an advisory opinion. The Commission understands that you propose to publish a monthly bulletin for circulation on a subscription basis to suppliers of metal fabrications. The publication would list the original equipment manufacturer’s name, the name of his purchasing agent, a brief description of his requirements for metal fabrications for the month including sizes, shapes, quality, quantity, engineering difficulty or sophistication and closing dates for accepting quotations on these requirements. The Commission is of the view that implementation of the proposed course of action in the manner described would not violate any law administered by the Commission. By direction of the Commission.
