It's that time of year again! Washington Seminar is next week in DC and the
nation's blind will be visiting the capitol. 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.
