Hi  Federationists,
    There have been 2 posts regarding the customer survey  being conducted 
by the NLS.  I want to add a further note urging you to  take part.   I'm 
speaking here not as a member of the Wolfner  Advisory Board but simply as an 
enthusiastic Wolfner reader. 
    And possibly a little paranoid, given all  the news about budget 
issues, but... what the heck... humor me,  please?
 
      A high participation in this survey will  allow NLS to report to 
Congress that there is great interest in their services  by their customers 
(us).    Programs that were once considered  completely safe  now seem to be 
fair game for the chopping  block.  Recall that it wasn't that long ago that we 
had to fight hard to  stop Congress from cutting off funds to complete the 
transition from tape  cassettes to the digital format.  Though there is no 
talk that I know of  seeking to cut NLS, we can never be complacent.   
      Helping NLS with feedback can help them to  offer more services more 
efficiently, thus offering more and better service at  less cost - something 
everyone likes to hear.  So take the time to call NLS  at the number listed 
below to give your 2 cents - cheap for the value  received, yes?
     I return you now to your regularly scheduled BARD  digital book.
