WHEREAS, Senator Charles (Mc) Mathias is one of four Senate Sponsors of Senate Bill 2056, calling for an end to the practice of paying blind people less than the federal minimum wage; and,
WHEREAS, S. 2056 represents a long-standing policy of the
National Federation of the Blind as well as the current policy of Blind Industries and Services of Maryland; and,
WHEREAS, ending the injustice of subminimum wage is a practical and a moral imperative not only for the blind of Maryland, but all the blind throughout the United States as wel1: now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, by the National Federation of the Blind of
Maryland in convention assembled in the City of Baltimore this 28th day of August 1982, that we commend Senator Mathias for standing tall with the blind of Maryland by co-sponsoring S.
2056.
