To Whom It May Concern:

As I have been unable to contact you by telephone, I am writing this
letter requesting a response either by fax, telephone, or written
correspondence. Please address the following issues:

     *  Do non-profit organizations fall under the
        requirements of The American Disabilities Act?

     *  Is it true that if an organization holds a
        convention or function at a location that does
        not meet the requirements of The American
        Disabilities Act, that the responsibility will
        fall upon the organization?

        What if the organization is a non-profit
        association?

        If someone takes action, can the organization
        be enjoined on this issue?

I have attempted at least five times to contact you - at times being
put back on hold ten to fifteen times - and still could not get
through. Therefore, would you please respond to my above questions.

Sincerely,



Susan K. McFadden
Account Executive
