Thank you for participating on the call tonight.  We have recently put out a
call for other disability groups to let us know if they are willing to
partner with us in this effort.  We have already received an immediate
response from the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.  Also, several partners of
the Collaboration to Promote Self-Determination are interested.  Both of
these are organizations of people with intellectual disabilities.  I will
develop a comprehensive list, and I will send updates as others join us in
our effort.

I think it is important to note that although the National Council on
Independent Living (NCIL) states that they support the language in Section
511, I have seen no specific language to that effect.  It is also important
to note that the establishment of an Independent Living Administration is
part of the reauthorization. 
Anil
