Clarification
In "Here and There" (July 2001), there was a reference to talking ATMs in California which stated that there were only five talking automatic teller machines in the state. The brief announcement referred only to the number of Citibank talking ATMs currently available in California. (Overall, there are 612 talking ATMs in California, thanks largely to successful advocacy by the members of CCB and others.) We regret any confusion the item.
The American Council of the Blind strives to increase the independence, security, equality of opportunity, and to improve quality of life for all blind and visually impaired people.
