To: disabdis Subject: proposed exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act in relation to captioning Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to express strong my opposition to the proposed exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act in relation to captioning for the next two and a half years. As an Audiologist I understand the difficulties faced by deaf and hard of hearing people. Captioning does not effect the movie viewing pleasure of hearing people but makes a big difference in the lives of deaf and hard of hearing people. Please do not grant this exemption. Regards, Melissa Robinson
