> Thank you for meeting with members of the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois last week to discuss issues which affect the blind throughout the nation.  We especially appreciate your accommodating our schedule so Mr. and Mrs. Chang, constituents form Congressman Quigley's district could attend.  With your support of legislation for fair wage, small business opportunities and home appliance non-visual access standards, we will be able to fully participate in and contribute to society on a more equitable basis.  We particularly urge the Congressman to co-sponsor HR 3086 and eliminate the unfair practice of paying less than minimum wages to persons with disabilities.
