WASHINGTON
August 8, 1991
Dear Friend,
on July 26, 1991, President Bush was joined by Attorney
General Thornburgh and Secretary Sullivan in a Rose Garden
ceremony to commemorate the First Anniversary of the American's
with Disabilities Act (ADA). Calling ADA a "fresh testimony to
our nation's greatness", the President also announced that most
federal regulations required for its implementation have been
completed and are in final form.
In this ceremony before national disability leaders, the
President also announced his memorandum to Federal departments
and agencies directing them to renew efforts to recruit and
retain people with disabilities and in general to act as a model
employer. The President announced, "I want all Federal agencies
to review their programs, policies, and practices to ensure that
people with disabilities are included in Federal programs, that
they are recruited as Federal employees, and that incentives for
productivity are encouraged".
For your information and use, I have enclosed a copy of the
President's remarks and a copy of this important directive.
With the President's best wishes,
Sincerely,

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN CEREMONY FOR AMERICAN WITH DISABILITIES ACT
The Rose Garden
10:04 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: First, may I greet the distinguished
members of Congress here in the front rows, thank them for coming,
thank them for their interest in the passage of this important
legislation we're here to celebrate today, but also in their interest
in following up on it. May I greet, also, the Attorney General Dick
Thornburgh, and our Secretary of HHS Lou Sullivan and the Vice
President, of course. He and I welcome you to the Rose Garden. And
may I salute the other guests that are with us. And a special thanks
today to the men and women from our business community. American
corporations, you see, are a vital part of this team, and your
support of the ADA is critical to its success.
One year ago, I stood over there many of you present
-- on the South Lawn. And I will never literally, never forget
that sight or certainly the emotional feeling I felt on that day.
Thousands of people from across the country had come to celebrate the
signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, one of the most
comprehensive civil rights bills in the history of this country.
And while people felt a justifiable sense of triumph last
year, you also could see a feeling of eager impatience. After all,
the signing of the ADA didn't mark the end of a long struggle, it
marked, really, a beginning.
Some of you here today joined me on the South Lawn, as I
mentioned, a year ago, and we've made tremendous advances since that
ceremony. We've introduced changes that will transform people's
worlds. The ADA has also helped us -- all of us -- to understand a
little bit more about ourselves. It reminds us that along with the
privilege of being an American comes a duty, to recognize and defend
the rights of every American.
This bill does more than make the American dream of
equality a reality for 43 million Americans with disabilities.
It
offers, in a sense, fresh testimony to our nation's greatness. It
demonstrates how we can advance the cause of civil rights. It shows
what can happen when we work together -- drawing upon the fundamental
decency of the American people.
The quest for civil rights is not a zero-sum game. It
shouldn't mean advancing some at the expense of others. The quest
for civil rights is a quest for individual rights and equal
opportunity and it's a crusade to throw open the doors of opportunity
and tear down the walls of bigotry.
The
ADA works because it calls upon the best in the
American
people -- and then Americans respond. It works because it
embodies what must be at the heart of all civil rights struggles --
the spirit of inclusiveness, the devotion to individual rights and
equal opportunity.
That devotion runs deep in our nation. We are the land
of opportunity and always have been.
MORE
Our Constitution and our courts pledge equal protection
under the law. But equally important, our people believe in legal
equality -- and many try to broaden opportunity in little ways, by
reaching out to capable people and giving them a chance giving
them a fair chance.
America must be a country where the sons and daughters of
poverty have the same grasp on the American dream as the children of
privilege. And it must be a land where a child can overcome any
obstacle and fulfill his or her own potential.
We see this promise fulfilled by a man I presented to
this nation four weeks ago. And we can be proud to live in a country
whose highest court will include a man who understands the importance
of basic American values tolerance, industry and decency. And I'm
speaking, of course, of my nominee to the court, Clarence Thomas.
While Judge Thomas was at the EEOC, he compiled an
excellent record on disability issues, with which I hope all of you
are familiar. But his life illustrates the principle that inspires
all civil rights bills the principle that we must throw open the
doors of opportunity to everyone. And this spirit should guide us as
we pursue all civil rights legislation -- for our greatest strength
lies in our ability to work together and honor the shared values we
treasure.
We have worked together this last year. And in so doing,
we've understood more fully just how much people with disabilities
have to offer. We've demonstrated that social progress includes
economic growth and that both play essential roles in the American
dream. Businesses support the ADA because it gives everyone a chance
to be productive in the workplace. It broadens our economic
mainstream. It enables society to benefit from the wisdom, energy
and industry of people who want just one thing a fair chance.
And while we've made a strong start, we have much to do.
As long as the doors of opportunity are closed to even one American
we must keep working at it.
The passage of the ADA, the world's first declaration of
equality for people with disabilities, made this country the
international leader on this human rights issue. And now the world
is watching to see how we use this act -- how we remove the physical
barriers we've created and the social barriers that we've accepted.
Our success or failure in keeping the promise of the ADA will affect
the lives of hundreds of millions of people with disabilities not
just here in the United States but throughout the world.
Our challenges remain great, but our will is even
greater.
In
America the most generous, optimistic nation on the
face
of the earth we will not rest until every man and woman and
child with a dream has a fair chance to realize it.
Most of this work will be done by individual Americans
acting day by day to increase tolerance and understanding. But the
ADA also required five federal agencies to come up with
implementation regulation or guidelines. These regulations
relating to employment, public accommodation, transportation and
communications -- are key to the full implementation of ADA.
And so I'm proud to announce that most of these federal
regs will be issued today.
All guidelines required of the Department of Justice, the
EEOC,
the FCC are in final form and those regarding transportation
will be issued soon. I want to thank the people of the Executive
Branch who have worked so hard to make the ADA a reality.
And in addition, today I'm issuing a memorandum to
federal departments and agencies. And it directs them to recruit
people with disabilities as federal employees and to ensure that
Americans with disabilities have access to federal programs.
The
MORE
- 3 -
federal government must serve as a model employer for the rest of the
nation.
And again, thank you all so very much for your work, for
your dedication and for your devotion and your steadfast faith, and
to many here, for your inspiring example. And may God bless you all.
And thank you very, very much. (Applause.)

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
On July 26, 1990, I signed the "Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990, " and this Nation welcomed into the mainstream of
life all of our fellow citizens with disabilities. As we move
forward with the implementation of this landmark legislation,
I ask you to look at what you have done, what you currently are
doing, and what your plans are for the future to ensure people
with disabilities are not excluded from the mainstream.
Many of you have worked hard over the years to establish
policies and initiatives to remove barriers that prevented
people with disabilities from gaining access to programs
and employment opportunities within the Federal Government.
You have removed architectural and physical barriers and
provided people with disabilities access to Government
facilities and buildings. You have also made real change
in employment policies and in the nature of Federal jobs to
recognize the talents and skills of people with disabilities.
In 1990, people with disabilities represented 6.9 percent of
the Federal work force while they represented 3.6 percent of
the civilian work force.
However, there is still much work to be done. I want
you to renew your efforts in this area and make a special
pledge to. do everything possible to ensure that people with
disabilities have the opportunities they deserve. I want
all Federal agencies to review their programs, policies,
and practices to ensure that people with disabilities are
included in Federal programs, that they are recruited as
Federal employees, and that incentives for productivity
are encouraged.
Also, I want you to share your experiences and success stories
with the private sector so they can benefit from the lessons
learned since the 1973 Rehabilitation Act was implemented within
the Federal Government. The Federal Government must be a model
for the rest of the country to ensure that people with disabili-
ties are afforded opportunities to become full participants in
our society. Recruitment, hiring, and career development must
afford people with disabilities equal opportunities to achieve
their highest potential and become contributing, productive
members of the work force.
People with disabilities represent a tremendous pool of talent.
They bring to their work diversity in skills and commitment,
with a simple request in return -- the chance to be a part of
the mainstream of society. As a nation, we face a shortage
of qualified workers in the coming years. Those of us who
look beyond an individual's disability and, instead, focus
on the ability will be better prepared to meet these new
challenges.
I know I can count on all of you in advancing the Federal
Government as a model employer of people with disabilities.

Dear Colleague:
On behalf of President George Bush, I welcome you to the 44th
Annual Meeting of the President's Committee on Employment of People
with Disabilities.
Thanks to a great President and a great Congress, thanks to you,
the Americans with Disabilities Act is law. ADA is a landmark in
the evolution of human being, the world's first comprehensive civil
rights law for people with disabilities by any nation. It holds
the potential for the emancipation and productive independence of
more than half a billion of the world's most oppressed people.
But more than anything, ADA is a promise to be kept. Our task now
is to keep that magnificent promise by empowering the millions of
isolated, unemployed, welfare dependent Americans with disabilities
to achieve their potential as fully equal, fully productive
participants in the mainstream. This will not be easily or quickly
accomplished. Success will require your leadership. We must join
together, people with disabilities and their advocates, employers,
service providers, operators of public facilities, government and
all who love justice. We must implement ADA through full and
harmonious compliance, with minimal expense and litigation, with
maximal profit for all concerned. We must move forcefully from
ADA to the empowerment of all people with disabilities in the
American dream.
America is watching. The world is watching. Because we are
America our success or our failure to keep the promise of ADA will
be copied everywhere. The quality of the lives of hundreds of
millions in future generations hangs in the balance.
We must not fail. We will not fail. I believe that because I
believe in you. Together we have overcome. Together we shall
overcome.

From ADA To Empowerment
President Bush Speaks Out
"I'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure the disabled are included
in the mainstream
they're not going to be left out any more."
"More than two-thirds of our fellow citizens who have disabilities are
unemployed, and that is intolerable."
"When you add together federal, state, local and private funds, it costs
almost $200 billion annually to support Americans with disabilities, in
effect, to keep them dependent."
"I now lift my pen to sign this Americans with Disabilities Act and say,
let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down."
"This historic Act is the world's first declaration of equality for people
with disabilities. Its passage has made the United States the international
leader on this human rights issue."
"Your hard work in gaining nationwide support for this
legislation
has contributed to its fairness and enactment. I join with all Americans
in saluting you."
"However the job is not yet finished. I look forward to working with
all of you to uphold the magnificent promise of ADA by ensuring that
people with disabilities are full participants in the mainstream of American
life."
"I want to say a special word to our friends in the business community.
You have in your hands the key to the success of this Act. For you
can unlock a spendid resource of untapped human potential that, when
freed, will enrich us all."
"Together we must remove the physical barriers we have created and
the social barriers we have accepted. For ours will never be a truly
prosperous nation until all within it prosper."

Richard C. Douglas
Richard C. Douglas (Rick) has recently joined The President's Committee
as its Executive Director. He is from Vermont where he was head
of
Vocational Rehabilitation for six years. Vermont's programs, under Rick's
direction, have been recognized nationally as being cutting edge through
their involvement of employers and people with disabilities. New
initiatives included Supported Employment, Independent Living,
Attendant Services and statewide Business Advisory Councils.
Prior to government experience, Rick was a marketing executive for
Pitney-Bowes for five years and was for ten years, the director of
advertising for British Airways (USA). His award winning advertising
campaigns for British Airways helped to increase market share and gross
sales by 400%.
Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1974, Rick became increasingly
involved with disability rights and advocacy. As a wheelchair user, he
has fought for new laws on access, accommodation and employment
at the state and national levels. Rick has developed new approaches toward
eliminating attitudinal barriers and stigma using communications media
with an emphasis on television. He developed the nation's first prime
time cable television show on disabilities, "Beyond Disability" and has
marched in support of the ADA on the streets of our nation's capitol.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
At The President's Committee on Employment of People with
Disabilities, we have an opportunity to set the agenda for the
future regarding employment of our nation's 43 million citizens
with disabilities. Here are the key goals we've set.
First, determine market needs. Over the last few weeks our Chair,
Justin Dart, and I have met with and/or teleconferenced with
representatives from nearly all fifty states. What we are hearing
from employers, people with disabilities and providers is helping
us determine our direction. What people in the states are telling
us is their needs for implementation of the Americans With
Disabilities Act. Information on the ADA, Training, Public
Information Campaigns and many other concerns have been outlined to
us. Most states see a need for group consensus, the identification
of a lead agency and the replication of workable ADA implementation
strategies all the way down to the smallest towns and cities.
Second, develop national ADA implementation models, provide
materials not currently developed and create plans for dealing with
employer concerns and those of other key publics. We are currently
working with many other agencies and businesses to develop printed
information, audio-visuals, training materials, public information
campaigns, toll free access numbers and more.
Third, initiate a national marketing plan. As we talked to our
own
President's Committee volunteers, those at our Governor's and
Mayor's Committees, employers, independent living center
representatives, advocates, rehabilitation professionals and other
providers, we have been asked again and again to develop a national
marketing plan and public information strategy.
On one of our state visits, we heard from a lawyer who said, "The
ADA should be about education, not litigation" The President's
Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities will maximize
its staff, resources and volunteers to keep the promise of ADA.
