Political Quotes

“I greatly appreciate your taking the time to talk with me about my concerns over the 40-percent cut made in the budget of the American Printing House for the Blind. As you know, the American Printing House is located in my district, in Louisville, KY, and carries out the mandate of the 1879 Act of Congress to promote the education of the blind. Over these many years, the American Printing House has produced and distributed special educational materials to legally blind students enrolled in pre-college programs. The cut in this bill would have a very detrimental effect on the ability of the American Printing House to carry out its vital mission. If the cut proposed becomes final, legally blind students in every State will have less access to the educational aides that are produced only at the Printing House for the Blind. I would be most grateful for any help you can give to restore the necessary funding for the American Printing House for the Blind.”
