The SSP Resolution passed on the floor. But there were minor
changes to it at the resolutions committee meeting so I am waiting
for Sharon Maneki to sends me the resolution with the changes that
the committee made. <br>

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
