Ed,

The United States did in fact sign off on this treaty. The next and
final step is for the Senate to ratify it so it will apply to books in
our country.

This would allow us to read Braille and Talking Books from many other countries, and they would not have to be re-recorded or re-Brailed again and again. Many more books would become available as a result.
