<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>On Tuesday, July 26, we will be having an
informational picket about subminimum wage in front of Senator Mikulski's office
in Baltimore. She is on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions
committee where this bill is. We will be doing this in all states that have
members on this committee, and we are not targeting her specifically.

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There is a new presidential release on the NFB's
website on which Dr. Maurer discusses the issue. Language was put into the
Rehab Act about subminimum wage ostensibly to protect the people who receive
subminimum wage. We believe the best way to protect people making
subminimum wage is to kill the practice. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The picket is from 10 till noon. We will have
people from the national center pick us up at Penn Station. We will take
the train that leaves Union Station at 7:45 and New Carrollton at
7:55.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please let me know if you can go so that I can give
an account of how many people need rides.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The hearing on this bill in Congress is scheduled
for August 3.</FONT></DIV>
