Index Number: 14096 [This is from the Silent Talk Conference] Hi Wayne. I will be dispatching to you via U.S.Snail a copy of the relevant excerpts from the "Public Review" draft of the ANSI standard. It looks like the committee review draft I sent earlier except for the section on telephones for HI. This has regressed to the same meaningless verbiage as the 1986 standard (he says disgustedly). Comments are being received until April 22. If you can get any of this scanned into postable format, other SilentTalkers would possibly be interested. Everyone else please note. Now is your time to make your needs known. Remember, most of the people writing the standard are not ones who need protection *OF* the ADA. (They think they need protection *FROM* the ADA.) Now is the time to act! Also in the snail packet will be a copy of my comments on the proposed ATBCB guidelines for ADA. Comment on these guidelines closes on March 25. ADA mandates that DOJ base the accessibility regs on the ATBCB guidelines. Check your mailbox :-) Jack. ...
