> Baltimore, Maryland (February 6, 2009): Dr. Marc Maurer, President of
> the National Federation of the Blind, the oldest and largest
> organization of blind people in the United States, said: "The purpose
> of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 currently being
> debated in the United States Senate is to reduce unemployment and to
> restore economic security for all Americans.  In order to accomplish
> this goal for Americans who are blind or have other disabilities,
> state vocational rehabilitation programs must be adequately funded.
> The National Federation of the Blind urges all members of the United
> States Senate to reject the Nelson-Collins Amendment and retain the
> $500 million currently allocated for vocational rehabilitation.  By
> doing so, the Senate will ensure that all Americans have the training
> needed to work and contribute to this nation's economic prosperity."
