We hope to have these materials online by Tuesday the 14th.  Please remember
that the information is embargoed until 9:30 AM on the 15th.

	If you want a hard copy of the report, please email us your complete
mailing address and phone number.

	To refresh your memory, this audit has three purposes:

	1.  To describe who the underserved Americans are in relation to
Internet content, the barriers they face, and what they want in the online
world;

	2.  To analyze content currently available, emphasizing what exists,
chief gaps, and promising building blocks; and

	3.  To provide a roadmap for action -- identifying ways in which the
public and private sectors working with underserved communities can ensure
rich and relevant content for Americans at risk of being left behind.

	We look forward to continuing to work with you and extend our
appreciation once again for lending your good counsel and expertise.

	Best,

	Wendy Lazarus, Laurie Lipper, and Francisco Mora
