> PROGRAM
> 
> The Washington Seminar is an annual event of the National Federation of the
> Blind to introduce the agenda of blind Americans--the priority issues
> requiring congressional attention over the coming year.  The issues are
> selected from official positions of the Federation and may address concerns
> in the following areas: relevant civil rights issues; educational programs
> and services; rehabilitation of the blind for competitive employment; the
> operation of vending facilities by blind persons on public property;
> specialized library services for the blind; the organization and funding of
> federal programs; Social Security and Supplemental Income programs; and
> other timely topics.  Approximately three legislative initiatives are
> chosen for priority attention during the Washington Seminar.
