Dear Ms. Levar,

Thank you very much for meeting with Robert Hansen and I  on yesterday regarding Hr3505, the TEAch Act, and S556, the Aircraft Carrier Accessibility Amendments Act. We of the National Federation Of The Blind Of Illinois appreciate Congressman Quigley's support over the years, including his support of HR831, the Fair Wages For Workers With Disabilities Act. We certainly hope he will co-sponsor the TEach bill, and the aircraft  legislation when it reaches the House. I will contact you in a few weeks regarding these important legislative initiatives. I am sure that members of our legislative team at the national level will be in touch with the congressman's  Washington D.C. office. The contact information for the people handling these bills in the NFB's Baltimore office is at the end of the fact sheets I left with you.

Sincerely,

Denise R. Avant
1st Vice President
