You are probably correct that the NFB has no official intention of expanding
its activities into Canada, but the National Federation of the Blind,
Advocates for Equality certaqinly makes no bone about it desire to sset up a
similar organizatin in Canada.
I did ask Paul Gabias just how such an organization wuld work, given
that many of the isues we deal with concern our provincial governments and
not the national government. He was abolutely unavble to anwer uch a
quetion. In addition, when I asked him whether hi organization would repecr
the fact that Canada has two official language, he wa again unable to anwer.
The organization he wants to create will not come about until he can
answer these quetions.
Likewise, other groups in Canada will certanly be prepareed to look at
wht the NFB ha accomplihed, but AQmerican can never be allowed to dictate
policy to us.
I am more than prepared to do what I can to facilitate co-operation
among all of us, becaue we all want the ame thing.
Thank very much for your mesage.
