  At around 9:00 p.m. this evening, the U.S. House of Representatives
passed (by voice vote) the Twenty-first Century Communications and
Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (S. 3304) and the technical
corrections bill (S. 3828).

CONGRATULATIONS to all COAT affiliates and advocates! Each of you
played an important role in getting this groundbreaking legislation
introduced and passed.

Please extend congratulations -- and our sincerest thanks -- to
everyone in your organizations and communities. This is a remarkable
accomplishment.

A summary of S. 3304 is available at http://www.coataccess.org/node/9776.
