Committee of New Jersey,

In her remarks, Flaum reminded the audience that Honeywell
 International, located in Morristown, continues to do business
 with Iran. She urged people to take some action.
 “Call Honeywell and voice your concern. Write a letter to David Cote, 
CEO and chairman of Honeywell, and tell him that his neighbors in 
New Jersey do not want a New Jersey company to do business in Iran,” 
she said.
