 Dear  Ms.  Salas: 
 l  am  writing  concerning  the  proposed  descriptive  video  rules  under 
 MM  Docket  Number  99-  339. 


 We  in  the  blindness  community  care  about  and  want  very  much  to 
 have  access  to  television  programming  through  descriptive  video.  We 
 want  access  to  what  almost  every  other  American  takes  for  granted. 


 I  also  wish  to  thank  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  for  their 
 standing  up  for  our  simple  request  to  be  a  full  partner  in  the  national 
 experience  of  television.  I  also  wish  to  encourage  you  to  stay  the 
 course  in  the  face  of  those  who  would  deny  us  our  rightful  enjoyment 
 of  what  is  offered  to  the  public. 


 Thank  you  in  advance  for  your  assistance  in  this  crucial  issue  which 
 impacts  on  the  quality  of  life  of  blind  and/  or  visually-  impaired 
 Americans.  bd
