Thank you for the opportunity to talk with you on the telephone on
Friday. You have been most helpful in the past, and I am wondering now if you
would be willing to check out one more thing for me.
Unless there is some way that interpreter costs can be recovered, the
continuance of this expense remains a drag on the on-going efforts to
encourage deaf/hearing get-togethers, and the spread of deaf awareness
in today's world. I would be grateful if your office would explore this
matter with the appropriate officials who are responsible for the mandates of
the ADA and let me know their advice and decisions. Thank you for your
help.
Sincerely,
XX
