    Today we received some encouraging news from Oregon.  Last Friday 
their
Governor recommended that the Oregon Commission for the Blind be 
abolished
and that blind services be melded in to the general agency.  Blind
Oregonians and their friends flooded the Legislature with their 
disagreement
for this recommendation.  Yesterday people were informed that the
Legislature did not agree with this recommendation and that the 
Commission
for the blind would remain in tact.  Again this shows the importance of
being able to mobilize a grass roots effort on a critical issue.
