Next week, the blind of this nation are headed to DC next week for our
annual Washington Seminar. Many of you will be visiting the capitol to speak
with your legislators. 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.
