National Handicapped Awareness Week
May 16 - 22, 1976
I commend the attention of all Americans to
National Handicapped Awareness Week. It is
an observance which should remind us of our
need to eliminate architectural barriers
which still stand in the way of handicapped
citizens and our need to build a system of
public transportation which brings new mo-
bility to those who are handicapped.
Our success in heeding the message of this
observance can result in more jobs -- and a
greater variety of jobs -- in more businesses
and industries. It can bring closer the day
when all our citizens have full access to
public facilities and when all Americans can
more fully exercise their inherent rights.
The message of National Handicapped Awareness
Week should remain with us as a continuing
commitment to enable handicapped Americans to
achieve greater personal self-fulfillment and
meaningful contribution to our society.
