These are three of the people
����������� Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT), United States Senate, for his
authorship of Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act, and his leadership in
promoting advanced telecommunications capability to improve life in rural areas
and
revitalize communities across the nation.
He was just honored for this work.

These two are also
��������� Carolyn Breedlove, Senior Professional Associate, National
Education Association, \
������� Raul Yzaguirre, National Council of La Raza,
There were some wonderful applications of public technology, that were funded
by TOPS that were featured on 2/11/ as examples of what has been done. I
should have typed them in.. but I am in Phoenix and the reports are in
Washington.
I copied Karen Buller to the discussion, because she may be able to locate
the descriptions of the projects shown and shared at the meeting.
Capsule
La Raza , helping Hispanics to gain home ownership by leading them through
the paperwork.
Edgewood Terrace - That is a special project in which the whole community
is connected and
working on line.
There is a doctor who has trained people in a part of Georgia, to react to
victims of stroke, and to get them treatment within that special time that
keeps
them alive and able to live.
There was a report of the fact that Native Americans are under funded and
that there are possibilities that this is the kind of ... funding that would
help. Karen can give you more information on this.
Accessibility for the handicapped was also an issue.
I am sure that Karen will connect you to the APT people who can give you
more information.
