MEMORANDUM FOR:  REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS

FROM:            LEO CAREY, DIRECTOR

SUBJECT:         Appeal's Court Decision

Attached is decision of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit vacating a decision by the Review Commission which involved the manufacture of modular housing units.

The Court decided this was appropriately manufacturing since it wasn't done as part of or on a construction site.
