Jack Thompson: Thanks for your information and comments about adding closed captions to existing video programs. The situation seems pretty much as I had expected, but I wanted to respond knowledgably to our visitors and staff. Since you're in the business, though, perhaps you can answer another question for us--how common is it now to include closed captions on material made to be distributed as recordings, as opposed to broadcast? Many of the tapes we use are in commercial distribution, but it seems few or none of them are available in closed caption versions. Do you think this will change, what with ADA and all? Would it add a great deal to the production costs if planned from the beginning of a project? Thanks again! David A. Penney Exhibitions Manager The Baltimore Museum of Art
