Dear Federation Colleagues,

Please take action on the legislative issue below.

We need to thank Representative Mac Thornberry, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, for assisting disabled veterans injured prior to September 23, 1996, to obtain access to the Space Available program by including language to correct the exclusion of these veterans from the program in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act. Your letter of thanks will give Chairman Thornberry support when he seeks inclusion of his language in the final joint House and Senate bill when the conference committee meets in September. We have made it simple and convenient for you to write to Chairman Thornberry; all you need do is fill out the very short web form located at this link: https://nfb.org/thank-you-thornberry.

The web form really is simple. Please fill it out. Your action will help us move forward on this legislative issue. If you would like to learn more about the Space Available issue, please read the legislative fact sheet found in the March 2016 Braille Monitor.
