GOVERNMENTAL CARE TO THE HANDICAPPED IN CHINA
For more than 30 years, the Chinese Government has been
making great achievements in organization work affectting the
life, education, rehabilitation, employment and recreation for
the handicapped.
The Constitution of the People's Republic of China stipulates
that the state and society should help arrange the work, life and
education of citizens with visual, hearing and speech impairments
and other disabilities. Various admininstrations have developed
regulations ensuring the rights to employment and education of
the handicapped.
At this moment, a nationwide sample survey is being carried
out to make preparations for the drawing-up of a law to protect
the rights of the handicapped in China.
Adhering to the principle of "putting prevention first",
a 3-level health protection network has been set up in both
urban and rural areas. The public is being informed of the
importance of disease-prevention. Free preventive medicine
against contageous diseases is administered to children. There
is also an extensive programme of inoculation. Health check-ups
are periodically given to children and to pregnant women. The
above measures have effectively checked the incidence of
disabling diseases, such as, leprosy, poliomyelitis has been
stamped out in most areas.
Government departments have devëloped regulations and
preventive measures to protect people from disabilities resulting
from environmental polution, industrial and traffic accidents,
and natural disasters.
Our principle is to develop rehabilitative and medical
undertakings in line with local conditions, with funds collected
from all levels, throughidifferent channels.
In accordance with this principle, various types of
rehabilitation facilities are emerging under both government
and private sponsorships. A network of rehabilitation is in
the making, with facilities of all sizes complementing and
supporting each other. Some areas have already started
community-based rehabilitation services.
As to the education for the handicapped, we hold that the
development of special education needs the mobilization and
joint-efforts of all social sectors, with emphasys on bringing
into play the student's existing visual, audio and intellectual
abilities. The method employed should be guidence, focusing
on the cultivation of the student's special technical skills,
which should enable him to take part in social labour upon
graduation.
A fund has been established to encourage special education
personnel for their outstanding contributions to the cause of
special education.
To solve the problem of employment for the handicapped. is
the most important
step toward their participation in society.
The Chinese Government decrees that:
-Any enterprise, 35% or more of whose staff is handicapped,
will be exempted from paying tax.,
-Those with 50% or more of their staff being handicapped
need not pay any tax.
-A handicapped person running an individual service
enterprise or a commercial business enjoys tax exemption.
These measures encourage the employment of the handicapped
by all kinds of enterprise.
According to incomplete statistics, in China's large and
-2-
medium-sized cities, about 70% of the handicapped persons who
are capable of working are employed.
In helping the handicapped find marriage partners, we rely
mainly on society, with organizations for the handicapped, their
work places and neighbourhood committees playing the key role.

EDUCATION OF DISABLED PERSONS.
Quite a few disabled persons did not have the opportunity to go
to school, particularly to universities, as the health standards
were high for the entrance. The "Circular on Wider Admission of
Disabled Youth to the Universities and Better Assignment to Work After
Their Graduation "issued jointly by the Ministry of Education,
Ministry of Health, Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the State
Planning Committee in 1965 stipulates that disabled persons who
are independent and whose disabilities do not hamper the study
of their chosen specialties and their work after graduation are
allowed to take the entrance examination to the universities.
The ordinary primary and secondary schools have been open to
disabled youth and children who are independent since the
founding of the People's Republic of China.
There are about 500 schools of special education, of which more
than 400 are schools for the blind, deaf and mute. Most schools
for the blind, deaf and mute have only primary education, while
a few of them junior secondary education (professional and
non-professional). All provinces and autonomous regions except
Xizang and important cities have these special schools. Education
for mentally retarded children has been developing. There are more
than 300 special classes and schools taking mentally retarded
children for education. Special education has also progressed
well and universities have started special education programs.
The Ministry of Education has decided to further develop special
education. As a result, a new special department of medicine
has been open to disabled persons at Bingzhou Medical School,
Shandong Province in 1985. It provides a 5-year education of
university level and has enrolled 56 disabled persons. Besides,
a professional school for the disabled was set up at Shijiazhuang
City by the Youth Association of Hebei Province in 1985.
The school provides senior secondary education and more than 100
students are at school.
THE EMPLOYMENT OF THE HANDICAPPED IN CHINA
Through various means, the civil affairs departments and labour
personnel departments in different places of the country have
been working actively and steadily to solve the problem of
employment for the handicapped youth in cities and towns. When
enrolling new workers, the employed workers, the employer units
give priority to those handicapped people with specialized
techniques. In organizing collectively ownned enterprises and
institution youth-awaiting-emplyment, the handicapped are given
positive consideration wherever production and labour suits
their individual abilities. The social welfare factories fun
by civil affairs deparments are exploring potential possibilities
for more handicapped people to be employed.
In cities throughout China, there are now over 1600 state-run
social welfare factories where handicapped employees. make up
more than 40% of the workforce. The figure reaches over 8,000
when the social welfare production units run by residents or
neighbourhood committees, or jointly run by both are concerned.
More than 70% of the handicapped labourforce are employed.
In the countryside, social welfare factories are set up in a
number of market-towns. Up to the present day, 148 such
production units are in operation in the countryside of five
provinces.
The state government provides that, of all the social welfare
factories, those with over 35% handicapped in their work-forces
are exempt from income taxation.
THE INFORMATION OF CULTURAL AND SPORTS DEVELOPMENT OF
THE DISABLED IN CHINA
Cultural and sports activities of disabled people are widespread.
"Monthly for the blind", "Voice of the Blind and the Deaf",
"Spring Breeze", etc. have been printed and "Hua Xia Publishing
House", was founded. All these are to serve the needs of
disabled people.
With the purpose of disseminating patriotism and humanitarianism.
"Spring Breeze" which published in January of 1985, reports the
independent spirit of the disabled strivers; keeps society
informed of needs of the disabled in aspects of study, life,
education, employment, rehabilitation, medical treatment,
marriage, social activities; appeals to governmental departments
concerned to ensure that the disabled has the equal rights and
duties which the normal people has in legislation; encourages
socialist moral principles and castigates decayed feudalist
mentality.
Additionally, 15 films and TV plays have been produced,
describing the life of disabled people up to now.
News stories about disabled people reported in newspapers,
radio and TV programs and other mass media help the society to
better understand and support disabled people. Besides, there
is an increasing number of charity performances, charity shows
and charity sales for disabled people.
On October 21, 1983, China set up "China Association of
Disabled Athletes". The chairman and the vice-chairmen are
the staffs concerned from the State Physical Culture and Sports
Commission, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, China Fund for the
Handicapped, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth
League, the State Education Commission, etc.. So far, in 23
provinces, 45 cities, 1 autonomous prefecture, and 13 regions,
there has been one each.
China Association of Disabled Athletes has been a member
organization of 7 international organizations, include: ISOD,
-1-
IBSA, CP-ISRA, FESPIC, ISO, CISS, ISMGF. This association has
taken part in 11 international events such as:
The Third Far Eastern & Southern Pacific Area Games for the
Disabled held in October of 1982;
The Third International Games for the Disabled held in New York
in June of 1984;
The International Special Olymic Games of Winter held in U.S.A.
in March of 1985;
The 15th International Games for the Deaf in July of 1985;
The Second International Sports Games in France in 1987;
The Second International Special Olympic Games in the U.S.A.
All kinds of sports games in many provinces and cities are
organized for disabled people with the help of China Association
of Disabled athletes and China Sports Association for the Deaf.
Some disabled athletes have broken the world records. Chinese
delegation to the Second International Skills Competition of
Disabled People was crowned with five silver medals and three
bronze medals. Our disabled athletes also came out with 10 gold,
two silver and three bronze medals in the Second International
Sports Games for Disabled People held in 1987. Totally in all
those evenrs, 75 gold medals, 50 silver medals and 22 copper
medals have been gained. China Association of Disabled Athletes
also has paid many abroad study-visits and attended a lots of
research-meetings such as:
The 15th Congress of the International Sports Union for the
Handicapped held in Poland in April of 1985;
The Training-research for the Mentally-retarded Meeting of the
Asian-Pacific Area held in Feberary of 1986.
The Association has sponsored 11 domestic events, with presently-
taken swimming, table-tennis, basketball wheel-bound, trace and
field events and wheel speed-match.
The presently-attending persons with disabilities are: Amputee,
Paraplegic, Blind, Deaf, Mantally-retarded and physically
disabled persons.
-2-
DISABLED PERSON'S MOVEMENTS
In China, services for disabled persons are taken on
automatically by government administrations and enterprises
and communities. Consequently, not many activities have been organized
by disabled persons on their own. For a long time, the only
existing nationwide organization of disabled persons has been the
Association of the Blind and Deaf-Mute.
With the development of the society, the increasing demands
and activities of disabled persons can not be meet solely by the
government administrations and enterprises and communities. In
view of this movements of the disabled persons have been rising
in recent years. Stimulated by the Asian and Pacific sports
meeting of the disabled, the China Sports Association of
Disabled Persons was set up in 1981. In 1983, a sports
delegation of disabled persons took part in the Olympic Games
and won the first gold medal of Olympic Games in the history
of China. The Chinese disabled persons sent their representatives
to join the second Abilympic, Columbia 85 to be held in September
1985. Sports and related activities will further develop as
an important part of disabled persons' movements.
It was necessary to have a national organization of
disabled persons for better representing their demands, for
more successful fighting for their lawful rights and interests,
and for better service for them. In 1983, a proposal for the
setting up of a national organization was put forward by the
representative of disabled persons and public figures. With
the support and care of the government and society, the China
Fund for the Handicapped was founded in March 15, 1984 in
Beijing. It is also supported and cared for by a number of
foreign governments, public figures and overseas Chinese.
Following its steps, a number of similar local organizations
-1-
have been set up in various parts of China one after the other.
The founding of China Fund for the Handicapped marks a new
period during which the disabled persons' movements are becoming
increasingly active and rapidly progressing, and better planned
and organized. Following are those lines along which it works:
-Appealing to the society for caring for disabled persons
and fighting for the making of various laws and stipulations
by those administrations concerned.
-Sponsoring services for disabled persons.
-Raising funds and organizing and supervising their use.
-Studying and finding measures of prevention of disabilities
and publisizing them.
ISSUES AND PROBLEMS:
All disabled persons have their livelihood ensured at
various levels under the support and care of the government
since the founding of the Peopls's Republic of China. Most
disabled children except severe cases have the opportunities to
have primary education, while most disabled teenagers junior
secondary education, professional and non-professional.
Universities are becoming more and more open to disabled persons.
In urban area, the overwhelming majority of disabled persons
except disabled servicemen and victims of injuries due to work
want to go or return to work, and more than half of them have
the opportunity to get a job.
Despite the progress made in the rehabilitation services,
there are a number of problems yet to be solved.
-Legislation is far from perfect and Specific laws are to be made.
-An organ of power and authority is yet to be established to
coordinate various aspects of the service.
-A nationwide long-term program is to be worked out.
-There is a tremendous need for various professionals who are
yet to be trained.
-2-
-Integration of rehabilitation medicine into whole medical care
is yet to be strengthened, though there is already some interest
and care shown by the general medical profession to the rehabilitation
medicine.
-Greater importance should be attached to the community-based
rehabilitation.
-Lacking financial resourses.
-Integration of disabled persons into various aspects of the life
of the community, such as: daily living, education, recreation,
employment, marriage etc., is to be strengthened.
-Physical environment is yet to be improved.

SOCIAL WELFARE SERVICES FOR THE HANDICAPPED IN CHINA
A BRIEF ACCOUNT:
The People's Republic of China has shown a constant concern for
the social welfare services for the handicapped. The Government
puts the proper placement of the handicapped among its work of
priority. In our country, the handicapped have acquired the
political position of masters of the country along with the
able-bodied, enjoying equal rights as well as obligation as due
to ordinary citizens. Economically, basically handicapped
people have the guarantee to a secure life and have the possibility
and opportunity of taking part in production and other work
according to their different capabilities.
It is clearly stated in the 45th Provision of the Constitution
of the People's Republic of China that: "The state and the
society should help arrange work, life and education of the blind,
deaf, mute and other handicapped citizens".
-Employment through various means, civil affairs departments
and labour personnel departments in different places of the
country have been working, actively and steadily to solve the
problem of employment for the handicapped youth in cities and
towns. When enrolling new workers, the employment workers, the
employer units give priority to those handicapped people with
specialized techniques. In organizing collectively owned
enterprises and institution youth-awaiting-employment, the
handicapped are given positive consideration wherever production
and labour suits their individual abilities. The social welfare
factories run by civil affairs departments are exploring
potential possibilities for more handicapped people to be employed.
In cities throughout China, there are now over 1600 state-run
social welfare factories where handicapped emplyees make up more
than 40% of the workforce. The figure reaches over 8,000 when
the social welfare production units run by residents or
neighbouthood committees, or jointly run by both are concerned.
-1-
More than 70% of the handicapped labourforce are employed.
In the countryside, social welfare factories are set up in a
number of market-towns. Up to the present day, 148 such production
units are in operation in the countryside of five provinces.
The state government provides that, of all the social welfare
factories, those with over 35% handicapped in their work-forces
are exampted from income taxation.
-Education. There are now 319 special schools for the blind., deaf
and mute around the country. Education for mentally retarded
children is also being developed on experimental basis in a dozen
of cities, such as Beijing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Wuxi etc. The
Ministry of Education has made explicit stipulations concerning
the handicapped going to universities.
-Chinese Medicine has been made in the treatment of the blind,
the deaf and the mute. For instance, there has been research in
developing artificial sight and hearing electronic cochlca, etc.
Other areas such as tympanic mambrane repairs, corner transplants,
suris madia forming, stapes excision, etc have been extensively
developed. Besides, work has also been done in the fields of
eugenical research, puerperal care and advisory services for
genetical diseases thus contributing to the prevention of
blindness and the protection against deafness.
-Sports. In Oct. 1982, China's first sports team of the handicapped
was organized by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the National
Sports Commission and joined the Third Sports Games for the
Handicapped of the Far-East and the South Pacific Regions. In
Oct. 1983, a nationwide international tournament for the
handicapped was held in Tianjin, during which these was a national
conference of the sports personnel and the handicapped sportsmen,
setting up the National Sports Society for the Handicapped. The
National Sports Commission decíded the First Sports Games for
-2-
the Handicapped was to be held in Hefei, Anhui Province in
Oct., 1984.
Our sports team of the handicapped was sent to the U.S.A. for the
International Olympic Games for the Handicapped in the summer of
1984.
-Social Welfare. There are now more than 700 social welfare
institutions and more than 60 children's welfare institutions in
the countryside in the cities all over the country, more than
14,000 old people's homes taking care of 170,000 lonely elders
who have lost working abilities with no one to rely on and no
income to live on.
Apart from the above-mentioned, 600 social welfare factories'
run by the state and 8,600 collective production units run by
urban neighbourhoods, 35 prosthetic factories have been set up
in the provinces, cities and autonomous regions, turning out
more than 120,000 various products for the handicapped every year.
Of course, we have not done enough and there are quite some
shortcomings in our work, especially concerning legislation.
There is so far no seperate legislation to protect the interests
of the handicapped. There is still room for improvement and
development in much of our work. It is our wish to work with
the organizations for the handicapped in different countries
and regions throughout these world, for promotting the develop-
ment of the world services for the handicapped and for the
promotting the world peace.

GENERAL INFORMATION OF CHINA-PRESENT DEVELOPMENT OF
REHABILITATION SERVICES FOR THE HANDICAPPED.
1. MEDICAL REHABILITATION.
Medical rehabilitation was for a long time restricted to sanatorium
care and limb fitting only in China. Only recently has the medical
rehabilitation developed rapidly and have the following progresses
been made.
-There has been a rapid increase in the number and variety of
rehabilitation institutions. No statistics are avalilable
concerning the increase throughout the country. As far as Beijing
is concerned, more than 38 rehabilitation institution were newly
established. in 1984-1985. The number of beds totals
1,969. Hemiplegia, paraplegia, quadriplegia (tetraplegia),
arthritis, cardiovasc ular diseases, cerebral palsy, tumors,
urinary diseases, and mental disorders are the conditions covered
in these institutions.
The tendency of increases will continue and quite a number of
new institutions are being planned and constructed. More and more
scientific and up-to-date approaches are introduced. The
construction of the first modern rehabilitation center-China
Rehabilitation Research Center which is guided' by China Fund for
the Handicapped is under way intensively in Beijing as a
Sino-Japanese joint venture. The Center is expected to be
completed in 1988.
The above mentioned change in Beijing could to certain extent
represent the also rapid progress throughout the country.
-The education of rehabilitation medicine has been placed on
the agenda only very recently. Rehabilitation is included ih
the curriculum only in three medical schools. A number of
lectures and courses on rehabilitation medicine were given in
various places in the past three years. No schools are yet
available where physiotherapy and occupational therapy can be
taught.
-1-
-The exchange of information is developing. The first nationwide
academic body the China Research Society of Rehabilitation
Medicine was established in 1984, and the first nationwide
conference was organized in the same year. Acheivements in
researchs on prosthetics have been reported on the meetings on
medical engineering. Specialists of rehabilitation medicine
and rehabilitation engineeing from other parts of the world
have visited China and given lectures and exchanged information.
Many professionals have been sent abroad to pay a short visit
to get some general information on, to study and to exchange
information on rehabilitation, while some have had long-term
study.
The national periodical medicine abroad -Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation has been published locally have also been dis-
tributed throughout the country. The first monograph Rehabilitation
Medicine has been off press. The volume on rehabilitation
medicine of Chinese Medical Encyclopedia is in the process of
editing.
-The understanding of rehabilitation medicine is deepening and
widening. The narrow concepts of "the third phase of medical
care", "phyical medicine", "sanatorium care" and "late care"
have been changing gradually. The new concept that takes
rehabilitation as an integrated part of medical care and that
it should involve the whole process of the disease or injury
has received wider acceptance.
2. VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION.
Disabled persons go to work after medical rehabilitation without
prevocational assessment and training. Their ability is assessed
by experience. In fact, these disabled persons are assessed and
trained at work. This method has the disadvantage of lacking
accuracy and scientific approaches. Nevertheless, it is simple,
easy and cheap. Experiencehas shown that assessment by experience
is usually correct in saying "yes" to decide the ability to work.
-2-
However, it may go wrong in saying "no" because those who are in
between "yes" and "no" are often refused to work as a result of
underestimating their ability. In fact, many of them do have the
ability to work.
No statistics are available concerning the number of disabled
persons who have returned to work in rural area.. In urban area,
some disabled persons are lacking motivation to work because they
are sufficiently paid to lead an average life without working.
Among them are disabled servicemen and victims of injuries due to
work. If they are excluded from the statistics, then more than
half of the remaining disabled persons with working ability go or
return to work. Conditions causing their disabilities are
basically blindness, deafness muteness, poliomyelities and others.
There are three types of working place to provide jobs for
disabled persons in urban area according to their sponsorship.
namely: government-supported, community-supported, and jointly
supported production units. As postulated by the "Circular on
Taxation and Exempt from It for the Social Welfare Production
Units Sponsored by the Ministry of Civial Affairs", income tax
is not paid if disabled persons constitute more than 35% of
the total of workers.
In some provinces and cities, income tax is reduced proportionally
acording to the percentage of disabled persons among workers.
The Circular also applies to similar production units not run by
the Ministry of Civil Affairs. So far, more than 14,000 units of
this kind are available throughout the country. In recent years,
three new types of production units are emerging to provide jobs for
the disabled. They are:
-Production units sponsored by government enterprises only to
provide jobs for offsprings of the staff.
-Cooperative production units in villages and small towns,
-Private production units owned by disabled persons. It is the
custom to call all above-mentioned units social welfare production
-3-

per
units or facotries in China. There is no law which compulses
every factory to take a small percentage of disabled persons and
most of them have to work at social welfare production units.
The International Labor Office (ILO) distinguishes four types of
production units (workshops) for disabled persons:
-workshop for preparation for competitive work,
-sheltered workshop for long-term work,
-workshop for homework
-production workshop, which is competitive in the market
The social welfare production units in China belong to the latter
three.
ILO distinguishes four types of work for the disalbed:
-prime manufacture from raw material,
-subcontracting (packing and assembly)

Article 104, Section 2 of the General Rule of Civil Law stipulates:
"The legitimate rights and interests of the disabled people are
protected by law."
« The Circular About the Work of Enrolling and Assigning the

disabled people the same opportunities to enter themselves for
the folling exam of the colleges and universities.
Law of compulsory Education stipulates: "People's local goverments
should hold the special educational school (class) for the blind,
the deaf-mute and mentally-retarded children."

to promulgate step by step the local administrative law of
protecting the legitimate rights of the disabled.
And in every provincial captital and other cities concerned will

T. 105 Chinese Handicapped Persons-Semi postal Special Stamps
The number of the handicapped people in China has reached over twenty millions. In order to promote the welfare of the
handicapped, reflect the socialist spiritual civilization, and mobilize the whole nation to collect funds for the welfare of the
handicapped people, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the PRC released on March 15, 1985 a set of four semi-
postal special stamps entitled "Chinese Handicapped Persons." The denomination of each stamp is 8 fen plus a 2 fen surtax. The
selling price is RMB¥0.10 each. The 8 fen is for the postage while the 2 fen surtax will go to the Chinese Welfare Foundation for
the Handicapped.
The cachet on the FDC describes "a withered lotus still bears fruit, " which implies that disabled does not mean unable to
make contribution to mankind.

Dear Jan:
Since your phone call last Thursday evening, I have met nearly
non-stop with a number of Minnesota rehabilitation leaders and
administrators on arranging a possible visit to the state by Deng
Pufang and his delegation next fall. There is extremely strong
support for this visit. What follows are the information and
suggestions I have gathered.
Rehabilitation in Minnesota. Minnesota has a long and
distinguished involvement in many facets of rehabilitation
growing out of
the state's strong commitment to human services
its world-class facilities and resources
an internationally-recognized leadership of advocates for
the rights of the disabled and the care of the handicapped
a large number of companies involved in the rehabilitation
industry
extremely strong support for rehabilitation programs
across a coalitional front of private, non-profit, and
government sectors
unique emphasis on the sports and recreational dimensions
of rehabilitation
extremely generous foundation funding
The Minnesota approach to rehabilitation is independent living
and total accessibility. This theme undergirds the following
issues which you have asked me to address about Mr. Deng's visit.
Legislation on Behalf of the Handicapped. The state has a
large number of advocacy organizations, Governor's commissions,
and interest groups which have been active in promoting a great
deal of state and city legislation -- from mandating prevention
and programs over dependency and institutionalization to total
access for the disabled. The Minnesota Council on the
Handicapped, for example, has coordinated efforts to legislate
and implement total access regulations. In addition, the city
councils of Saint Paul and Minneapolis have approved Metro
Mobility, a pioneering program for barrier free and totally
accessible public transport. City legislation has also resulted
2481 Como Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 (612)641-3233
in the total accessibility of all Twin Cities' facilities,
including the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and skyway system.
Every Minnesota city has a Mayor's committee on the disabled
which oversees similar accessibility efforts.
A number of state legislators, the leadership of the
Minnesota Council on the Handicapped, city council persons, and
others would be very interested in sharing views of legislation
and regulation on behalf of the disabled with Mr. Deng and his
delegation. They are interested in working out appropriate
forums to accomplish this.
Visits to Rehabilitation Center. The Executive Directors of
Courage Center and Sister Kenny Institute are eager to welcome
the delegation to their facilities, which are among the best in
the world for stressing non-institutionalized, independent
living. In addition, the University of Minnesota has a
progressive program in pediatric rehabilitation. Minnesota
public schools "mainstream" students with disabilities and have
programs for special education which are among the best in the
country. Many companies in Minnesota -- from the multinationals
like 3M and Honeywell to many small companies -- produce
state-of-the-art devices and technologies for the disabled.
(Please see the our newly-published Midwest USA/China Resource
Guide for further information on these companies and non-profit
agencies. I am sending this under separate cover.)
These and other organizations are eager to arrange visits for the
delegation, if this is appropriate.
Vocational Training The state has a number of sheltered
workshops, which ma Night be of interest. Opportunity Workshop
in Minneapolis is particularly well-known. There are also a
number of on-the-job placement services and "adapted workplace"
programs in Minnesota industry in addition to at-home workshops
for the disabled.
Independent Living Centers and Open Aceess Models. The state also
has a number of independent living centers, which are totally
accessible in all types of weather, especially through skyways in
every Minnesota city. In addition to the famous complex and the
Mayo Clinic at Rochester -- easily accessible by plane and 90
minutes from the Twin Cities by car -- there is Seward Square in
Saint Paul. Moreover, all state educational and other
institutions as well as public buildings are totally accessible.
Visits to these could be easily arranged.
Visit to a Farm. This can be arranged within convenient and
short driving distance from either the Twin Cities or Rochester.
We are working on suggestions to link farming with disability.
Discussions with Counterparts. A number of representatives of
the organizations, facilities, and institutions mentioned above
as well as others in government, private, and non-profit
organizations have expressed great interest in learning from the
Chinese as well as imparting their own views on issues of common
concern -- from advocacy to legislation to funding -- and other
issues.
Transportation and Accommodation. As we have discussed,
Minnesota will provide a specially-equipped plane and ground
transport as well as appropriate housing for Mr. Deng and the
delegation.
Fundraising. I have discussed fundraising with a variety of
Minnesotans. They have already committed to covering the Minnesota
visit. You and I need to discuss the budget soon.
Weather. You inquire about mid-October weather in Minnesota
-- this is our Indian Summer season, a pleasant and beautiful
time of year. At this time, temperatures fluctuate between 40
and 60 degrees. Typically, snowfall does not begin until Thanksgiving.
Infrastructure for Mr. Deng's Visit. As I told you by phone,
there is an enthusiastic and ready-made infrastructure for this
visit. For the past year, the Midwest China Center has had a
sub-committee of its Social Services Standing Committee devoted
to studying how to develop exchanges between the Midwest and
China in the care of the handicapped. The sub-committee is made
up of the executive directors of Courage Center, Sister Kenny
Institute, the Minnesota Council for the Handicapped, the
Governor's commissions mentioned above, administrators of
several of Minnesota's largest hospitals, the Mayo Clinic, and the
University of Minnesota School of Medicine, and representatives
of such companies as 3M, Medtronic, and Rosemount. This group is
eager to plan and raise funds for the visit.
I hope this information is helpful, Jan. Please don't hesitate
to let me know if we can be helpful in other ways.
We want to do all we can to bring Mr. Deng and his delegation
ton to Minnesota.
Sincerely,
That

The fourteen story building to house staff members of the center is al-
ready under construction and the foundation and first floors have been
laid for the Rehabilitation Research Center. It was proposed that the
special project to be supported by the United States would be an Inter-
national Center for Human Resources Training and Development located
near the Research and Rehabilitation Center to be used by visitors and
trainees not only from within China but throughout the world. This
International Center would be designed in a manner to be completely
accessable for disabled people and their families and would therefore
be the first such site in China. It was suggested that the new Inter-
national Center be a kind of "mini-Kennedy Center" including the
following components:
a cultural center, a theatre, a media center, a library,
classrooms, a hostel facility, a conference center, dining
facilities, and an exhibition area which could include ex-
hibitions of special arts and daily living aides.
The project would permit all kinds of cultural activities involving
persons with disabilities, including theatre, dance, art exhibitions,
and also serving as a complete training and conferencing center. The
total cost is estimated to be in excess of 20 million dollars (US) and
for this reason the project would be developed in phases. The first
priority phase would be construction of a conference center with hotel
and dining facilities, completely accessible to persons with disabilities.

1.
Dr. Fang opened the meeting. He explained that the advance team
that had been expected from China for the visit of Mr. Deng Pufang had
postponed their visit due to the disquietness and unpleasantness
amongst friends who were inviting him. He said that Mr. Deng Pufang
had asked him to convey his heartiest and sincerest best wishes to his
"trusted friends". Mr. Deng had requested Dr. Fang to come to the
United States and learn what he could about the situation regarding
the trip and report back to Mr. Deng SO that a decision could be made
about whether or not the trip should be abandoned. Dr. Fang introduced
himself to the group indicating that he had been in the field of
rehabilitation for 30 years and working with Rehabilitation
International for the past 20 years. Furthermore, he hosted Mr. Deng's
visit to Hong Kong in 1985. He indicated that if he felt that there
was no solution to the problem during the present visit, he would have
to advise Mr. Deng to abandon the trip.
2.
Dr. Fang reviewed the character and life of Mr. Deng as well as
the history of the attempted preparation for his trip to the U.S. The
major points were:
a. Mr. Deng Pufang may be perceived outside of China primarily
as the son of Deng Xiaoping, but in China in the past 2 1/2
years he has become the champion of the disabled in that
country. He has accomplished this by establishing the
China Fund for the Handicapped, an organization which now
has branches in every major city and has begun to be able.
to serve the estimated 80 million disabled people in that
country. Dr. Fang reviewed the many accomplishments of Mr.
Deng with particular emphasis on the development of a
survey of disabled people in China. The survey will be
conducted with a sampling of one and a half million people
(the pilot tests so far conducted indicate an average
percentage of 7-8% or 70-80 million people who may be
impacted upon by the China Fund).
b. Mr. Deng had intended to travel to many parts of the world
and began by visiting Hong Kong, Japan and France, and had
accepted the invitation of the National Committee on
U.S./China Relations in 1984 to visit the United States in
June 1986. He had planned to do this after visiting France
2
but unfortunately developed medical difficulties after that
trip and had to postpone the U.S. trip. He was told by his
physician that he should not leave the country any more at
all. Certainly he could not leave for personal reasons both
due to his medical condition and also his rise in prestige
and importance in China. It would now be necessary for him
to have a very specific purpose for any trip that he would
make to other countries in the future. Consequently, when
Mr. Tubiana made his suggestion in the fall of 1986 to
visit the U.S. in order to raise funds for the creation of
a center in Beijing which would permit disabled people to
come together for visits of professionals, establishment of
a resource center, creation of the only accessible hotel
facilities in China, the development of a library and
conference center, he accepted Mr. Tubiana's invitation
with great enthusiasm. Dr. Fang drew particular attention
to the fact that the trip now was no longer for sight-
seeing and learning, but had as specific top priority that
it must result in the concrete benefit to the disabled
people of China. Therefore, it is not really a duplication
of invitations and Mr. Deng had the greatest hope the two
inviting groups would be able to work together to achieve
something for the disabled in China. Dr. Fang emphasized
that the primary goal of the trip now planned was the
raising of funds for the purpose of establishing a center
as described above. Mr. Deng would of course be interested
in other aspects of the trip, such as meeting his disabled
counterparts, taking part in ceremonial occasions, and
sightseeing.
3.
Dr. Fang stressed that he was not here so much to persuade
people to find a solution as to see if a solution exists, then make
his report to Mr. Deng. On the basis of that report Mr. Deng would
make a decision as to whether or not he would come to the United
States.
4.
Mr. Eugene Martin of the State Department suggested as a
possible model for coordination of the various groups this proposal:
the wife of the U.S. Vice President, Mrs. Barbara Bush, could issue a
new invitation to Mr. Deng superceding the previous invitations and
would act as the host in the United States for the visit. Under her
aegis a coordinator would be appointed to work with all groups. Mr.
Martin suggested that Ms. Susan Eisenhower who has had extensive
experience both with the development of such events as well as contact
with the Chinese and specifically Mr. Deng himself, could be the
coordinator. The coordinator would work with all the interested
groups. Mr. Martin further indicated that Mr. Boyden Gray, of Vice
President Bush's office, had agreed with the preliminary concept.
5.
Arthur Rosen spoke of the involvement of the National Committee
on U.S./China Relations with China over 15 years of professional
exchanges. He described the initial meeting between Ms. Caroline
Amundsen of his Board and Mr. Deng. He indicated that it was only
later that the question of fundraising arose and in that case, while
3
the National Committee might have helped facilitate the process they
could foresee some difficulty in taking part in this directly.
6.
Mrs. Sandra Parrino indicated that she was attending on behalf
of the National Council out of respect for Dr. Harry Fang. The members
of the National Committee did not want her to come. More specifically,
Evan Kemp, Gordon Mansfield, Bob Funk, and Lex Frieden, were not
coming because of being left out of planning of the structure. She
referred specifically to a meeting which had taken place the previous
day between Eugene Martin, Dr. Fang, Susan Hammerman and Susan
Eisenhower in Washington, DC. Mrs. Parrino said they had planned in
good faith to attend this meeting (January 23) only to learn meetings
had already taken place excluding the disabled. She further referred
to her meeting with Gov. Shafer of the National Committee on
U.S./China Relations when he told her the Committee couldn't share
hosting and told her she should accept the hosting role. Ms. Barris
had confirmed that was indeed the answer to the question which the
National Committee was supposed to have answered by January 9. Ms.
Parrino referred to the decision of the meeting of January 7 not to
send separate telexes to the Chinese, that she and Rehabilitation
International had abided by that decision only to learn the National
Committee and Mr. Tubiana had not. She indicated that if it were now
determined that the National Council on the Handicapped should be a
cooperating host party, they would still be willing to consider
.General discussions ensued on meetings, invitations to meetings and
meetings at which all parties are not present.
7.
Dr. Fang reiterated that if the trip is to take place it is the
wish of the China Fund for the Handicapped that all arrangements for
meetings of disabled people and with disability organizations be
coordinated through the National Council on the Handicapped and
Rehabilitation International. They would have the sole responsibility.
However, he further indicated that there were specific persons who Mr.
Deng wished to see such as Mr. Sackler, Drs. Betts and Rusk, and Mr.
Deng would arrange to meet them regardless of the schedule developed
by the National Council.
8.
Sandra Parrino indicated that the National Council
representatives specifically felt that it would be wrong to expose Mr.
Deng primarily to pro-institution people. However, she indicated that
she had no difficulty with the people and organizations on the list of
people who had indicated interest and support in Mr. Deng's visit.
9.
Mr. Tubiana indicated that he would not now pay for the trip
of the China delegation and was prepared to turn a new page. That is,
with the new structure proposed by the State Department or any other
structure, he did not feel compelled to meet the obligations he
initially made to the Chinese directly.
10.
Mr. Bruce McMahan introduced himself as an investment banker.
4
He restated that the first priority of the trip to his understanding
was fundraising. He referred to a $500 million project in Shanghai
with which he was now concerned. Trying to raise funds for it
indicated to him that China was presently a hardsell in the United
States. The right perception of the trip must be generated and the
highest level of sponsorship must be available. While it would be
risky for the Bushes to sponsor this in some respects, if they did so
it would bring into play the entire fundraising machine of the Bush
campaign, a machine which is already well in gear for their own
internal political reasons. So as not to embarass the candidate,
supporters of Mr. Bush would ensure that the entire trip including the
fundraising was successful. He supported the idea of putting together
a few very successful events rather than many little ones. If it were
handled properly not only could money be raised for the Center but it
would be possible to establish a continuing process. Mr. McMahan
further indicated that he felt it wise to blend the fundraising for
the Chinese with fundraising for the U.S. disability community. It
could be, he said, a major campaign opportunity.
11.
Mrs. Hammerman said that from the perspective of Rehabilitation
International, agreement on two things were apparent in the meeting :
(a) the visit is a good idea and should be accomplished, and (b) the
means to bring it about were already in place.
12.
Dr. Fang underlined the importance of raising $5 million in
1987. The urgency was due to an arrangement the China Fund had made
with the Beijing municipal government. The government would be willing
to lease land in order to provide a building site for the new Center
if a guarantee was in hand for at least $5 million in funds for
construction. The term on this arrangement was until the end of 1987.
13.
Meeting expenses of the visit arose. There would be 8 people,
including Mr. Deng Pufang, five men and two women. For the airplane
passages it would require two first-class seats and six business-class
seats. Other expenses that would have to be met would be for domestic
travel, accomodation, food, social events and entertainment.
14.
Dr. Fang indicated that the advance party originally scheduled
to arrive at the time of this meeting would now not need to make the
trip until late February or March. Should they decide to come at that
time it would be useful if plans for the Center itself could be first
presented, that is, that architectural rendering and related
presentation materials could have been prepared.
15.
Sandra Parrino indicated that the selection of a single
coordinator whom she and the Council did not know was unacceptable.
She further indicated that the Council had not been asked to take part
in any of the deliberations leading up to the development of this
model. After some discussion on what the role of the coordinator
should be and other issues raised by Mrs. Parrino, it was decided that
5
the National Council on the Handicapped should select a co-coordinator
to work with Ms. Eisenhower. Mrs. Parrino accepted to contact the
Council in order to determine if this was acceptable to them, and did
so by phone in the course of the meeting.
16.
Dr. Fang indicated that it was necessary to develop an in-
principle agreement at this meeting. Discussion on what the format
should be ensued and resulted in the following format:
17.
Memorandum of Agreement -- 1/23/1987
The working group on the visit of Mr. Deng Pufang to the United
States agreed at their meeting on January 23, 1987, to the following
points:
1) That there should be a visit by Mr. Deng Pufang to the
United States.
2) That this trip should be organized under a new format.
3) That this format would be as follows:
a) The honorary patron of the trip would be Mrs. Barbara
Bush, wife of the Vice President of the United States,
subject to her acceptance.
b) That a coordinator for the visit should be selected.
This would be Ms. Susan Eisenhower and a co-coordinator
selected by the National Council on the Handicapped.
c) That an Organizing Committee for the visit should
report to and advise the Coordinator. This Organizing
Committee will be comprised of the following
Operational Divisions:
i. Fundraising Committee -- Chairman, Mr. Bruce
McMahan, Chairman of the National Cristina
Foundation and first member, Mr. Emile Tubiana,
Founder and President of the International
Rehabilitation Development Foundation, Inc. -- to
develop and conduct fundraising plan.
ii. Professional Committee -- Chairman, Mrs. Sandra
Parrino, Chairman, National Council on the
Handicapped -- to develop and conduct a program
with Americans with disabilities, rehabilitation
professionals and U.S. disability and
rehabilitation organizations.
6
iii. Cultural and Logistical Committee Chairman, Gov.
Raymond P. Shafer, Chairman of the National
Committee on U.S./China Relations -- to develop
and conduct a program for cultural visits,
entertainment, and logistics and protocol for all
aspects of the trip.
4) Rehabilitation International will serve as liaison for and
with the China Fund for the Handicapped.

Re:
Meeting of 1/27/86 re: Visit
of Mr. Deng Pufang
From: John Moses
Date: February 4, 1987
On January 27, 1987, a meeting was called by Dr. the Hon. Harry
S.Y. Fang, acting as the representative of Mr. Deng Pufang, Director-
in-Chief of the China Fund for the Handicapped, and convened at 3p.m.
at the headquarters of the National Council on the Handicapped in
Washington, DC.
Present were:
Chairman:
Dr. the Hon. Harry S.Y. Fang, Personal Representative of Mr. Deng
Pufang; Past President of RI
Ms. Susan Eisenhower, The Eisenhower Group, Inc.
Mr. Lex Frieden, Executive Director, National Council on the
Handicapped
Mr. Robert Funk, National Council on the Handicapped
Mr. Benjamin Goliwas, Assistant to Mr. Tubiana
Mr. Boyden Gray, Office of the Vice President of the United States
Mrs. Susan R. Hammerman, Secretary General, Rehabilitation
International
Ms. Ann Howard, the Eisenhower Group, Inc.
Mr. Evan Kemp, Executive Director, Disability Rights Center
Mr. Gordon Mansfield, Associate Executive Director for
Governmental Affairs, Paralyzed Veterans of America
Yvette Marrin, Ph.D., President, National Cristina Foundation
Mr. Eugene Martin, Deputy Director for Political Affairs, Office of
Chinese Affairs, U.S. Dept. of State
Mr. John Moses, Director, Special Programs and Development,
Rehabilitation International
Mrs. Sandra Parrino, Chairperson, National Council on the Handicapped;
Vice President for North America, Rehabilitation International
Ms. Margaret C. Pearson, China Affairs Officer, U.S. Information
Agency
Mr. Karrel Pusta, Assistant to Mr. Tubiana
Mr. Emile Tubiana, President, International Rehabilitation
Development Foundation and International Rehabilitation Week
Ms. Nancy Tucker, Office of Chinese Affairs, U.S. Dept. of State
1.
Dr. Fang opened the meeting at 3 p.m. indicating that he had
just two and a half hours left to learn what the solution might be to
the problem of organizing the visit to the U.S. of Mr. Deng Pufang.
1
2.
Dr. Fang said that he had received a call the previous day from
the U.S. Committee on U.S./China Relations who indicated to him that
they had decided not to act as co-hosts to the visit. He wished to
indicate for the record that Mr. Deng would feel personally indebted
to the U.S. Committee on U.S./China Relations and perfectly
understands the reasons for stepping down. Furthermore, for the
record, Mr. Deng would be grateful to Mr. Tubiana for conceiving the
concept of the International Center for Human Resource Development and
would be grateful for Mr. Tubiana agreeing to step down while still
continuing to offer help.
3.
The Chinese Embassy had communicated with him that they felt it
would be a great honor for Mrs. Bush to act as honorary host for the
visit. The Embassy further indicated that they were pleased that Ms.
Susan Eisenhower is considering taking the job on as coordinator. Dr.
Fang said that he had met earlier that day with Susan Porter Rose,
Chief of Staff for Mrs. Bush, and was assured with enthusiasm that
Mrs. Bush would be more than pleased to consider the possibility of
acting as host. Ms. Rose said that she was sure the trip would be
successful including the possibility of providing for the Center.
After that visit Dr. Fang said that he had paid a courtesy call on Mr.
Justin Dart, U.S. Commissioner for the Rehabilitation Services
Administration, who also expressed pleasure at the possibility of the
trip taking place.
4.
Mr. Evan Kemp representing Mr. Boyden Gray, said that Mr. Gray
wished all to know that Vice President and his wife could not get
directly involved in any fundraising.
5.
Ms. Eisenhower added that she thought great political skills
would be required in the process of putting this trip together. She
expressed her concern that the coordinators indeed be allowed to
coordinate, that is, that they be able to make decisions where
decisions were required. In respect to this concern, Ms. Eisenhower
discussed two models for the organizational structure on the American
side of the trip. One version called for the coordinators to operate
between Mrs. Bush and the three Committees as described in the memo
for the meeting of January 23rd. A second model called for the
Coordinators to function below the three Committees. Ms. Eisenhower
wished to make clear that she thought the former of these two models
was the appropriate one. She indicated that she thought hard decisions
would be called for in the process of organizing the visit and that
consensus was unlikely in many circumstances. She stressed that it was
very important that she be trusted by the Committees and without that
trust it would be impossible to organize the trip.
6.
Dr. Fang then asked for an immediate consensus that the
structure from which they would work from would be Mrs. Bush, as
Honorary Host, then two co-coordinators, and the three committees,
respectively from top to bottom with Rehabilitation International
serving as Liaison to the China Fund for the Handicapped and Mr. Deng.
No opposition was expressed to this view.
2
7.
Dr. Yvette Marrin requested that the question of fundraising be
addressed. She indicated that Mr. McMahan would be arriving later in
the day and that he was interested in helping with the trip but wished
to clarify the use of the funds.
8.
Gordon Mansfield directed a question to the representatives of
the State Department to inquire what their role would be. They
responded that they were acting as facilitators rather than active
participants. Mr. Mansfield asked if they had been asked to attend
these meetings by the State Deptartment and they said yes they had.
Mr. Mansfield said that he was there at the invitation of NCH
representing the Paralyzed Veterans of America and also in his role in
Rehabilitation International and Disabled People's International. He
indicated that he had learned from his experiences in RI and DPI that
it was very difficult to raise money in the U.S. for international
projects. Furthermore, there was a question of whether it was
appropriate for funding to be raised entirely for use in another
country when so many disabled people were in difficult straits in the
U.S. He said that PVA would find it impossible to participate in the
trip unless some of the funds were going to be used in the U.S. for
American disabled people, perhaps in support of international
activity.
9.
Dr. Fang asked Dr. Marrin to clarify whether or not Bruce
McMahan had accepted the Chairmanship of the Fundraising Committee
indicating that even if he continued to have questions after such
acceptance he could always resign. Without knowing his decision in
regard to this matter it was impossible to proceed in the meeting.
10.
Dr. Marrin indicated Mr. Bruce McMahan would accept the
chairmanship of the Committee, but he had questions about the specific
direction which fundraising was to take, how the money was to be
raised, the way in which the Vice President's Office would fit into
the plan for fundraising. She said she believed that Mr. McMahan hoped
to have an ad hoc committee with members of the business community
involved. He was interested to determine what a responsible direction
to take would be and the amount which would be reasonable to be
raised.
11.
Mr. Lex Frieden inquired as to who would be paying for the
services rendered, either by the coordinators or the costs that the
organizations involved would incur.
12.
Mr. Pusta indicated that Mr. Tubiana originally was prepared to
absorb all costs. Mr. Tubiana expressed the view that no one should be
on the Fundraising Committee who was not willing to contribute
$100,000 personally.
13.
Ms. Eisenhower expressed her hope that income generating
projects as well as fundraising could be developed. She wondered if it
would not be possible to postpone the visit of Mr. Deng until a year
3
from October 1987 thus providing enough time to put together a program
that would serve the needs of both the Chinese and the American
disabled. She further expressed her opinion that something along the
lines of a 50/50 division of funds would be most appropriate and
effective in terms of fundraising.
14.
Mrs. Hammerman noted that due to both Mr. Deng's health and the
particular arrangement which Mr. Deng had made on behalf of the China
Fund for the Handicapped with the municipality of Beijing to raise $5
million by the end of 1987 as a pledge against property from the city,
any further postponement would be problematical.
15.
Dr. Fang reiterated that he could see there was no doubt Mr.
Deng was very much welcome and that all were trying to do the very
best that they could to make the visit possible. He said that Mr. Deng
had already advised the Beijing municipality that $5 million was
available. If it were not available now such an event would be most
unfortunate given the fact that he is looked upon by the disabled in
China as being their champion, and a man who can do what he says. If
this contribution can be generated now it should be done in order to
make it possible for him to keep his promise.
16.
Ms. Eisenhower indicated that without Mr. McMahan it was
impossible to make much further progress in the meeting with respect
to the question of fundraising.
17.
Mrs. Parrino said that the National Council could not get
involved without a better understanding of the plans for fundraising,
the amount to be used in the United States, and the manner in which
the services of people would be paid for.
18.
Dr. Fang expressed the hopes that these issues could be dealt
with after he had left since they were not strictly speaking policy
matters but matters of internal strategy and concern.
19.
Mrs. Parrino reiterated that if corporations were approached
for funds for the benefit of disabled people in China it would be much
more difficult later on to get funds for disabled people in the U.S.A.
Therefore, it was only appropriate that the United States disability
community receive some of the funds themselves. Mr. Tubiana expressed
his agreement with that point of view and said that he hoped that this
trip could benefit Americans as well as the Chinese disability
community.
20.
Dr. Fang thanked all the participants for having taking part in
these and previous meetings. He felt he had arrived at some of the
answers to the questions with which he had come and would now take
them back to Mr. Deng and discuss what would be most appropriate to do
next. He adjourned the meeting at 5:30 p.m.

NCH LETTER DRAFT
refer to the meetings held in Washington on January 27th of this year with
Dr. Harry S. Y. Fang, attended by the chief executives of International
Rehabilitation Development Foundation, Rehabilitation International, the
Christina Foundation, as well as officials of the Department of State, The
United States Information Agency, Mrs. Eisenhower, Mr. McMahon and other
personalities.
As you know, we became the initial backers of a United States visit approved
by the Hon. Deng Pufang to serve the cause of China Fund for the Handicapped
at the invitation of Mr. Emile Tubiana, whose project called for co-equality
of the two proponents, while clearly defining their respective functions.
Within that framework, we were also exponents of the principle that the task
of organization and coordination should be strictly entrusted to a group of
individuals limited in numbers, but unbounded in dedication, so as to avoid
duplication and retain the complete transparency required of a major
international welfare endeavor.
Regrettably, the meetings in Washington did not bring us any closer to these
goals which we had set ourselves. This is certainly not to say that we are
now less desirous of implementing a project co-sponsored by ourselves at its
very outset. We feel, however, that it has eluded our reasonable grasp for
the time being and lies beyond our original aspirations.
On the other hand, we are prepared to reconsider, provided a set of
conditions is adopted along the lines of our erstwhile collaboration with
Mr. Tubiana, on a co-hosting, co-equal decision-making basis with another,
acceptable partner. Should this prove possible, allowances would have to be
made for the severe loss of time occasioned by meetings both exhaustive and
unproductive. Furthermore, we should not lose sight of our principal duty
toward the handicapped of America.
In that event of a return to the realistic realm in which we would be
confident of success, we should be only too happy to apply ourselves anew to
a purpose which we continue to look upon as both noble and of great mutual
benefit to our two countries.
Dear Mr. Gray
Please be advised that the Executive Committee of the National Council on
the Handicapped, acting by consensus at the Councils quarterly meeting on
February 1987, has determined that the Council cannot ,at this time,
assume a (formal) (prodominant as shared) host role with respect to the
planned visit of Mr. Jerg Putang to the United States.
As you know, the Council has already contributed substantial time to the
planning efforts which have been underway since you suggested our
involvement in this project. Our last meeting with you on this subject in
early december of last year Lex Frieden (our staff) and yourself(
)
advisors including Evan Kemps, Bob Funk, and Gorden Mansfield have all
mysalf
worked diligently to construct a suggested itinerary and educational
programs for Mr. Jeng and his party. We were pleased to contribute this
and our other suggestions to the planning effort.
It has become apparent that while the Council recognizes the
responsibility to be involved in providing advice to the organization and
programming associated with events like that which is being planned. The
Council is also aware of its principal responsibility to advise the
Administration and the Congress as matters pertaining particularly to
United States disability policy. Because the principal focus of the
planned visit of Mr. Jerg Putang to the United States / as it is presently
conceived and as it has been conveyed to Dr. Harry Foug on his recent
visit to Washington, D.C. is to raise funds for the CWFF. The Council
cannot commit to further formal involvement in this project.
other
The Council is pleased to advise you and the represenatives of
the Administration, including the State Department, on issues of
disability policies which may surface in relation to Mr. Gray's visit and
we would be pleased to meet with Mr. Jerg and representatives of his
organization to discuss matters of national interest in the area of
national and international disability policies. mutual
We will continue to support your efforts to insure that people with
disabilities have the opportunity to be involved in all projects and
decisions which pertain to them. We strongly support the significant
involvement and leadership of individuals with disabilities in this and
other similar
and we urge continued commitment to the principal
of independent living.

WITH MRS. SANDRA PARRINO, OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL
ON THE HANDICAPPED, AS WELL AS WITH MRS. GEORGE BUSH
AND ARTHUR ROSEN, ABOUT HIS PLANS TO SPONSOR DENG
PUFANG'S U.S. TOUR. QU INTIMATED THAT TUBIANA'S
ORGANIZATION MIGHT IN FACT BE AN APPROPRIATE VEHICLE
FOR ARRANGING AND HOSTING DENG'S TRIP. (NOTE: QU'S
REACTION TO TUBLANA THUS SEEMS MORE POSITIVE THAN
THAT OF DR. ZHANG. END NOTE.) EMBOFF PROMISED TO
CONVEY BACK TO CWFH ANY INFORMATION THAT IS
DEVELOPED IN WASHINGTON CONCERNING THE INTERNATIONAL

-IV. COMMENT AND ACTION REQUEST
12. THE IRDF'S COURTING OF THE CWFH, WHICH THE
CHINESE CITE AS CARRYING SOME RATHER AMBITIOUS
PROMISES OF HIGH LEVEL USG ATTENTION, APPEARS TO HAVE
HAD SOME EFFECT HERE. COOPERATION AMONG U.S.
ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE HANDICAPPED WOULD ENHANCE
PROSPECTS FOR THE SUCCESS OF DENG PUFANG'S VISIT.
LACK OF ORGANIZATION OR EVEN COMPETITION ON THE U.S.
SIDE COULD MOTIVATE DENG TO POSTPONE HIS U.S. VISIT
ONCE MORE, PERHAPS UNDER EMBARRASSING CIRCUMSTANCES.
WHILE THE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT OF COURSE WANT
TO GET IN THE MIDDLE OF SUCH POTENTIAL PROBLEMS,
EMBASSY BELIEVES IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR.US
TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE GENERAL BONA FIDES
OF GROUPS INCLUDING THE IRDF, WHICH THE CWFH HAS
REQUESTED, ALONG WITH APPROPRIATE GUIDANCE ON
AMERICAN HOSTS WHICH WE WOULD RECOMMEND. AS
MENTIONED SEPTEL, CWFH APPEARS TO BE DRIFTING IN
UNCHARTED WATERS AMONG THE NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS
ATTEMPTING TO INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN HIS VISIT.
THEY HAVE TURNED TO US AS AN OBJECTIVE BYSTANDER
FOR HELP AND ADVICE.

As popular interest in China increased, so did the

demand for educational programs, and the National
University
Committee undertook an extensive range of activi-

ties to meet this demand, including a radio series

and community outreach initiatives. Particular at-
tention was given to preparing those who were likely
to have early contact with China-businessmen,
journalists, scientists, and educators.
In 1969, the U.S. Government took the first public
steps to come to grips with the reality of China by
easing restrictions on American contacts with the
People's Republic. The National Committee has
been credited with contributing substantially to the
climate of public opinion that made those steps
possible.
