To: disabdis Subject: deletion of CAPTIONING Dear Sir/Madam, I am really concerned that people who are deaf and hearing impaired will be even further discriminated against with this is allowed (captioning restrictions). I have two out of three children who are hearing impaired and experience the need for captioning is essential. It is also an excellent addition for people who may not have caught every word of a movie or documentry. If the general public don't need captioning they just ignore the writing, no big deal. But for the people who are hard of hearing it is a big deal. Captioning is also a good way of improving & promoting good reading skills in the general public. Please take into consideration how hard it is to fit in to general society for these people with out making it even harder for them. Thank you for your time & attention. Vicki Sundblom.
