The enclosed message was received at my address, presumably in reply to the
article I forwarded to GLB-News regarding allegations of sexual
discrimination on the part of Enterprise Rent-a-Car.  Please send all replies
to the company itself (enterprz@cyberspace.com)....

(Enterprise Rent-a-Car sent the message in ALL CAPS)




FROM: J.B. SPECTOR

SUBJECT:  ENTERPRISE ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION

THE COMPANY HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE COMPLAINT FILED BY RODNEY
BERTONE AGAINST ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR COMPANY OF LOS ANGELES AND SEVERAL
OF ITS EMPLOYEES.  THE COMPANY CATEGORICALLY DENIES THAT ANY EMPLOYMENT
DECISION WAS BASED ON MR. BERTONE'S SEXUAL ORIENTATION.  WHEN THE MATTER
IS RESOLVED IN THE COURTS, IT WILL BE CLEARLY ESTABLISHED THAT ANY
DECISION MADE ABOUT MR. BERTONE WAS A RESULT OF MR. BERTONE'S PERFORMANCE
AND NOT HIS PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS.  UNFORTUNATELY, ALLEGATIONS , EVEN
IF TOTALLY UNFOUNDED, RAISE PUBLIC CONCERNS.  THE COMPANY WISHES TO
EMPHASIZE THAT MR. BERTONE'S ALLEGATIONS ARE FALSE AND THAT THE COMPANY
WILL BE VINDICATED IN COURT.  THE COMPANY HAS TREATED MR. BERTONE IN A
FAIR AND IMPARTIAL MANNER WITHOUT REGARD OR PREFERENCE TO HIS SEXUAL
ORIENTATION.
