receive a callback.

Hello,
I JUST called and asked to speak to Mr. Adair. I was told he was 
unavailable. I left my name, and telephone number, the fact that I lived in 
Chicago Illinois and was a member of the National Federation of the Blind of 
Illinois. I asked that he call me back so I could speak with him about the 
sub-minimum wage issue.
