    Agency Mission: The National Council on Disability is an 
independent federal agency composed of 15 members appointed by the 
President of the United States and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Its 
overall purpose is to promote policies, programs, practices, and 
procedures that guarantee equal opportunity for all people with 
disabilities, regardless of the nature of severity of the disability; 
and to empower people with disabilities to achieve economic self-
sufficiency, independent living, and inclusion and integration into all 
aspects of society.
    This committee is necessary to provide advice and recommendations 
to NCD on assistive technology, information technology, 
telecommunication issues, and accessibility for people with 
disabilities.
    We currently have balanced membership representing a variety of 
disabling conditions from across the United States.
    Open Meeting/Conference Call: This advisory committee conference 
call of the National Council on Disability will be open to the public. 
However, due to fiscal constraints and staff limitations, a limited 
number of additional telephone lines will be available. Individuals can 
also participate in the conference call at the NCD office. Those 
interested in joining this conference call should contact the 
appropriate staff member listed above.
    Records will be kept of all Technology Watch meetings/conference 
calls and will be available after the meeting for public inspection at
