Thank you, Mr. Perlmutter, for appearing before the committee. All the members of the committee would gratefully accept your invitation to visit you at the NFB.
You have praised the achievements and strengths of the NFB. When a public institution praises its achievements, it is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, things are going well and there is reason to be proud, but on the other hand, one might say that there is perhaps no need for additional assistance.
What challenges are you facing and what are your financial and other needs for the future? Is your budget satisfactory?
