Holland, Interim Director March 17,200O MAGALIE ROMAN SALAS OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY 445 TWELFTH ST SW TW- A325 WASHINGTON DC 20554 Dear MS Salas: This letter is to certify my support for descriptive video for blind persons in the United States as outlined on MM Docket No. 99- 339. Each morning the Bloomberg Stock Report has two sections where they highlight the outstanding stocks of the previous day with music. It would be so nice and informative to have these stocks announced while the video is playing. As a blind person and senior rehabilitation counselor who serves other blind and visually impaired persons, I strongly support the FCC’s action to make descriptive video available to the blind of this country. Thanks. John G. Riley Senior Rehabilitation Counselor JGR: mbh THE JOHN W.
