Senator John Tunney -2 October 4, 1973 person and the consumer. I have also handled numerous cases which have resulted in contracts for credit clothing companies being declared unconscionable and unenforceable and I will be glad to provide you with copies of the pleadings and decisions in such cases. The Court in one decision stated to enforce the provisions of the contract would be like applying the inquisition and the rack against consumers. If I can be of any assistance when your hearings take place in terms of testimony as to actual case examples of how the system works against consumers as to legal fee oppressiveness would be most happy to accommodate you and your committee. I am enclosing an autobiographical sketch for your further consideration. I wish you a most fruitful hearing and look forward to meaningful legislation to correct what I consider to be legal abuses as to consumers and average working people being able to get justice at a price they can afford to pay.
