May 26, 1998

Dear Attendee,

The Organizing Committee of the Workshop on Classroom Acoustics which you attended last December at the House Ear Institute is pleased to send you the enclosed copy of the presentations made at this workshop. Also enclosed for your information is a copy of the U.S. Dept. of Justice WEB Page version of the Request For Information on the topic of acoustic barriers that has just been released by the Access Board.

Probably the most important conclusion of the workshop was the expressed need to form a "Coalition" of concerned organizations to move forward with the pro-active program outlined in the summary charts you received. We look forward to your participation in this coalition.

  Your enthusiastic support of the Workshop has been really helpful and much appreciated.

  With the very best wishes for a happy Holiday Season and great New Year from all of us,

 Sincerely,

 Members, Organizing Committee, Workshop on Classroom Acoustics

T. James Du Bois
Michael Nixon
David Lubman
Mark E. Schaffer
Sigfrid D. Soli
Lou Sutherland

P.S. Enclosed is a flyer I received right after the Workshop - thought it might be of interest. Hope you could consider presenting a paper before this AIA subdivision on Educational Facilities - the architects need to be educated.
