  Mr. FATTAH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the National 
Federation of the Blind.
   For 75 years NFB has served as the voice of the blind in Washington 
and through their affiliate organizations in every state across the 
country. I congratulate them on this milestone of service, their 
advocacy efforts on behalf of blind Americans, and their continued work 
to make our communities more just, equal, and safe for blind 
individuals.
   As the largest organization of blind and low-vision people in the 
country, NFB works day in and day out to change what it means to be 
blind and to help realize the complete integration of blind individuals 
into society.
   On this 75th anniversary, I join in celebrating the National 
Federation of the Blind's long-list of achievements and look forward to 
their continued success representing the million-plus blind individuals 
in the United States.
