Dr. Smith 

I just wanted to let you know that I had an opportunity to speak to the
Congressman last night - he will be signing onto the Pedestrian Safety
Enhancement Act of 2009. I am still working on the other bills -

All the Best

Dear Melissa,

Thank you so much for meeting with us on Tuesday February 10th,
2009. You 
were so gracious and attentive and we appreciate your willingness to
convey 
our issues to Congressman Wilson. It is our hope that Congressman Wilson

will become a co-sponsor on HR 734 and HR 886 respectively. These two 
issues along with concerns about accessible technology for the Blind are

paramount issues for those of us in Ohio. Please keep me informed as to
any 
questions the Congressman might have concerning our meeting and I will
make 
sure that we will provide you with any necessary information that you
might 
need to help you make the most informed decision possible.

Sincerely,

Dr. JW Smith, President NFB of Ohio
