------------------------------
I am a researcher at Westat, a firm in Rockville, Maryland.  We are currently working
with Lighthouse International on a contract from the United States Bureau of Engraving
and Printing.  We are testing prototypes of American paper money that has tactile
cues so that blind people can distinguish the value of the bills.
We are seeking participants for this project.
Participation takes ninety minutes.  During the ninety minutes, we ask the participants
to feel the tactile cues on the bills and tell us what they feel.
We are giving participants fifty dollars as a thank you.  We will also reimburse
participants for travel to and from Rockville.
Participants must be blind to the extent that they cannot distinguish the value of
existing American paper money by looking at it.
We are running the participants from November 28 to December 5.
If you are interested, or know others who may be interested, please email Matthew
Bernstein at

or call him at (301) 294-2896.
Thank you,
