Along the side of a wet street in front of a hedge and at least 20 foot tall stone wall is a line of ADAPT protesters most in rain ponchos. At the top of the wall is a row of cars parked nose in to a fence at the top of the wall. Behind them is a large government type building. A few people are on the upper level looking down at the ADAPT crowd below.

THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1995 USA TODAY SILVER SPRING-About 100 American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today protesters, many in wheelchairs, blocked Route 29 for several hours. They want 25% of Medicare dollars to go to home care. MAY 18, 1995 METROPOLITAN TIMES SILVER SPRING [Headline] Wheelchair protest blocks Route 29 Thirty wheelchair-bound protesters were arrested for blocking traffic on a major Montgomery County thorough-fare in a four-hour demonstration. Members of a grass-roots organization of disabled people said they want to force Manor Care, one of the nation's largest nursing home operators, out of business. The group blocked traffic in both directions on Route 29 and Lockwood Drive between White Oak and Four Corners. On Tuesday, members of the group, Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, demonstrated outside the home of House Speaker Newt Gingrich because they say he reneged on a promise to introduce legislation that would help dis-abled Americans live more in-dependently. THE WASHINGTON POST MAY 18,1995 [Headline] Disabled Protesters Are Arrested After Blockading Building Nearly 100 protesters in wheelchairs were arrested yesterday after blockading the Silver Spring headquarters of Man-or Care Inc., the nation's fourth-largest owner and open-tor of nursing homes, police said. As many as 250 protesters gathered about 11 a.m. outside the Manor Care offices on Coles-vile Road and demanded a meet-ing with company Chairman Stewart Bainum Jr. Leaders of the group asked Bainum to sign a letter urging Congress to divert 25 percent of current Medicaid funding of nursing home care to home health care, a Manor Care spokeswoman said. When the company officials refused to sign the letter, the protesters—members of the group Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today—blocked off all entrances to the building for about four hours, refusing to allow anyone to enter or leave. Diane Cook, a Manor Care spokeswoman, said the company agrees with "many of their points." But she characterized the protest as a "publicity issue" that did not interrupt the company's operation. After blocking off parts of New Hampshire Avenue and Colesville Road for several hours to protect the demonstrators, Montgomery County police be-gan making arrests shortly before 4 p.m.

Another man [Mark Johnson] in a motorized wheelchair is rolling away from the other two. Behind the crowd there are trees.

Working with the Governors and with consumers and advocacy groups, we have made a number of key regulatory changes over the past two years that demonstrate our strong views about offering incentives for states to expand community based care. Despite grave threats of erosion of the fundamental structure of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, we continue to pursue ways to encourage this movement. The Department of Health and Human Services is also pursuing an ambitious research and demonstration agenda to find imaginative, new ways to maximize consumer choice and self determination. Many of the elements of this research agenda will have the immediate result of helping many people receive the supports they need. We will, for example, look at new ways to help consumers hire, train and manage their attendants, at alternative providers, and experiment with offering consumers cash instead of services. I take great pride in being part of an Administration that promotes these basic principles. am pleased that we have made so much headway in moving toward their realization, although I recognize that we still have much work to do. I continue to appreciate the opportunity to work with the disability community as WC work toward our common goals.
