<DIV>Dear Hiroshi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> You have put together a very strong program for Persons with Disabilities. Please accept my congratulations.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> We have several medical, community, and disabilities providers currently working here on sustained "Relief and Long-Term Recovery for Vulnerable Populations from Hurricane Katrina, and Emergency Preparedness for Disasters to Come - with Full Inclusion Persons with Disabilities." This effort may benefit from your strong efforts to include Persons with Cognitive and Intellectual Disabilities, as well as for Persons with all Physical Disabilities. Perhaps it may offer lessons to be shared in the future, as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Your active efforts to help promote the exchange of this vital information, tools, techniques and partnerships - using Fully Accessible ICT - will benefit Persons with Disabilities; vulnerable populations; and all populations and will help to encourage the daily growth of inclusion for persons with disabilities in Civil Society.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Please accept my congratulations and thanks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
