>> GOOD MORNING.

              I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVE DAY YESTERDAY

              AND AN ENTERTAINING EVENING LAST EVENING.

              I THINK IT WAS NICE TO HAVE THE THUNDERSTORMS COME

              THROUGH AND FROM AFTERNOON OF ABSOLUTE WEATHER TORTURE

              TO BEING A GORGEOUS EVENING.

              A COUPLE BRIEF ANNOUNCEMENTS ONE IS THAT THE HOTEL HAS

              AGREED AND IS SUPPORTING A LUNCH BUFFET.

              SO THERE NOT BE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT SOME OF YOU

              EXPERIENCED WITH THE LUNCH RUSH.

              SO THAT WILL BE BEGINNING AT 11:30 SO YOU HAVE AN OPTION

              NOW FOR LUNCH.

              ANOTHER THING I WANTED TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO IS IN

              YOUR PACKET OF MATERIALS, YOU HAVE A RESOURCE GUIDE.

              SO PLEASE MAKE USE OF THAT.

              YOU CAN REFER TO THAT IN THE FUTURE AND HOPEFULLY YOU

              CAN SHARE IT WITH SOME OF YOUR COLLEAGUES WHEN YOU GO

              HOME.

              THERE WAS SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THE MATERIALS FOR

              THIS CONFERENCE.

              ALL OF THE MATERIALS IN THIS CONFERENCE, IF THEY'RE NOT

              ALREADY POSTED WILL BE POSTED WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TO

              THREE DAYS ON THEWWW DOT RCEP 7 DOT ORG ON THE INTERNET

              AND THAT WILL INCLUDE THE HAND OUT MATERIALS AND IT WILL

              ALSO INCLUDE THE KEYNOTE SPEECHES AND ANY OF THE OTHER

              MATERIALS THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE.




              AND THAT WILL BE UP FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS.

              SO IF YOU WANT TO MAKE REFERENCE TO THIS.

              THE COMMERCIAL MESSAGE IS ALSO THAT FROM THIS PAGE YOU

              CAN ALSO SURF SOME OF THE OTHER RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE

              ON THE INTERNET.

              ONE OF WHICH I WOULD LIKE -- I'D HOPE SOME OF THE STATES

              CAN REFER TO AND THAT'S AN ORIENTATION TO PUBLIC

              REHABILITATION PROGRAM.

              THAT BASICALLY GOES THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE

              LEGISLATION REGARDING THE PUBLIC REHABILITATION PROGRAM

              AND HAS A GREAT EMPHASIS UPON PERSONAL CENTERED VALUES,

              THE PLANNING PROCESS AND HOW THIS IS TIED WITH OUR

              ENABLING LEGISLATION.

              FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT USE BRAILLE, THE RESOURCE GUIDE,

              WE HAVE EXTRA COPIES OF THE BRAILLE VERSION OF THE

              RESOURCE GUIDE AT THE REGISTRATION DESK.

              AND I GUESS MY FINAL COMMENT IS, IT'S BEEN REAL FUN.

              IT HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE.

              IT IS US A A CHALLENGE TO TRY TO COORDINATE A MEETING AT

              800 MILES, BUT I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO THANKING THE FOLKS

              AT THE MARRIOTT.

              THEY HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE.

              I'D LIKE TO THANK THE PLANNING COMMITTEE WHOSE NAMES ARE

              IN YOUR PACKET OF MATERIALS.  WE TRIED TO KEEP THE

              REGISTRATION LIST UP-TO-DATE, THAT ALSO IS IN YOUR

              PACKET.




              SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BEING WONDERFUL PARTICIPANTS,

              BEING GOOD COLLEAGUES.

              IT HAS BEEN AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE AND I HOPE YOU FIND

              THE REST OF TODAY TO BE AS PRODUCTIVE AS YESTERDAY.

              SO AT THIS TIME I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE HEAD TABLE AND

              TO MY LEFT IS MICHAEL CALLAHAN AND THEN ABBY COOPER,

              NANCY SULLIVAN AND SUSAN WELLS.

              I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL FOR ME TO REMEMBER THAT IF YOU

              KNOW MY MEMORY.
