This is the first step in a long road for us.<br>
<br>
Sharon Maneki told me that what we need to do for next year in
regard for the TSA resolution is to see if as many Deaf-Blind
Federationists can sign up for Pre-checking and what problems
exits. She was hopeful that it could be reworked for next year.
She had thought that I would have spoken up in favor for the
resolution. However, due to the problems I was having with the FM
system that Kurtis Chong had given me I did not clearly hear what
the disagreements were from the floor on the general assembly, so
I remained silent. But I truly appreciate all of Sharon Maneki's
support with grammer and revisions fro the resolutions.<br>
<br>
One thing that is clear. We have to pay attention to our language
and provide better background information and statistics. I think
we need to start working our resolutions and planning for the
coming congressional year in January so we can be prepared to
answer the Affiliate questions for cogently.<br>

Did you attend the Division meeting? Did you make it to the guide
dog meetings? <br>
<br>
I went to the first meeting but was unable to go to the second
because Burnell and I got turned around returning from Walgreens
and crossed the wrong street so by the time we got back it was
8:00PM on Wednesday and I didn't want to go in that late and have
to hand Marion my FM system. I was disappointed because I really
would have wanted to vote in the elections.<br>

<pre>Hi all.
TO those who were involved with passing the resolution today regarding
the urging of congress to begin legislation to support a national SSP
program, I strongly and warmly wish to thank you and congratulate you
on a job well done! This is just the beginning, I'm well aware, but
that first shove is often the most difficult. While 1 resolution did
not pass, the second one did. It's a major step forward, in my view,
toward making the general membership aware of the issues we face in
the deaf-blind community.
I'd like to take this time to extend my support to the NFB's
deaf-blind division and to help see this resolution through. I have
more to write, but this is enough for now. Again, thank you to those
who made this resolution possible for all of your hard work!
Sincerely,
Scott Davert
