WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1997 THE WASHINGTON TIMES Regional News [Image] [Image caption] Photo by Karen Ballard/The Washington Times. Protesters park their wheelchairs in front of a Greyhound bus yesterday in an attempt to disrupt service. Disabled activists protest bus service THE WASHINGTON TIMES About 70 handicapped activists in wheelchairs blocked streets and disrupted bus service at the downtown Greyhound station yesterday afternoon. They blocked the 100 block of L and First streets NW near Union Station, complaining about Greyhound's lack of progress in implementing regulations required by the Americans With Disabilities Act. Protesters began massing at both ends of L Street and around the front bus exit onto First Street NW demanding a meeting with Greyhound officials. "We want them to make all the buses accessible," said Clark Goodrich, 25, who traveled from Grand Rapids, Mich., for the week of protests. The group protested in front of the Department of Labor earlier yesterday before going to the bus station. Five buses carrying about 80 passengers were delayed about 30 minutes until Greyhound officials moved outgoing buses into a parking lot across L Street from the terminal. From there, passengers left for their destinations. Emma Gray, Greyhound's terminal manager in Washington, said most stations across the country have chair lifts to get handicapped passengers onto buses. "We just want to do our business, so we're doing it around them:' Mrs. Gray said of the protest. --Gary Scheets

ANA AMERICAN NURSES ASSOCIATION 600 MARYLAND AVENUE, SW SUITE 100 WEST WASHINGTON, DC 20024-2571 202 651-7000 • FAX 202 651-7001 HTTP://WWW.NURSLNGWORLD.ORG BEVERLY L. MALONE. PHD. RN, FAAN PRESIDENT GERI MARULLO, MSNI RN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR June 18, 1997 To Members of ADAPT: The American Nurses Association (ANA) has long believed that clients are the primary decision makers in matters concerning their own health, treatment, and well-being. The goal of nursing actions is to support and enhance the client's responsibility and self-determination to the greatest extent possible. The American Nurses Association is cognizant of the difficulties under our current health care system of assuring that all Americans have full access to appropriate health care in all appropriate settings including their homes if they so choose. Until we have a health care system that truly recognizes the health care needs of our citizens, it will be necessary to continue to identify solutions that address the rights and concerns of all consumers, including people with disabilities, while ensuring quality health care. ANA has been supportive and will continue to be supportive of the principles contained in ADAPT's CASA including: ► control of the consumer, within the parameters state laws and regulations, to select, managed and control their attendant services; ► community-based, not institutional ► eligibility based on function need regardless of age and/or disability ► services available in-home, and other locations; ► services available 24-hour days a day, 7 days a week; ► back up and emergency services must be available; ► program should allow for co-payment/cost sharing for people with higher incomes; ► delivery of services must include options for vouchers, direct cash payment, individual provider model, as well as a consumer directed agenda model; ► health related tasks can be assigned, delegated or done by unlicensed personal attendants in accordance with state licensure and scope of practice laws and regulations; ► voluntary training should be available for consumers; ► personal attendants should receive a livable wage and benefits, and ► attendant services should be based on an agreed upon a individual service plan. ANA will provide avenues for communicating these concerns through our National organization and State affiliates so that we can continue a productive dialogue and work together toward resolution of these issues. We continue to believe a full resolution will be possible when the nation develops a consensus on health care. Specifically, I will request to the ANA Board of Directors that they consider: *a presentation for ADAPT members at the next ANA National Convention; and *the creation of a task force with ADAPT as a member to work on de-medicalizing home and community based services. In addition, we welcome your written comments on the UAP proposal which will be brought before ANA's House of Delegates at the end of this month. If you provide us with those comments no later than Friday, June 27, 1997 we will disseminate those comments to our policy making body. Furthermore, we will request that representatives of ADAPT be invited to present their views to ANA's policy making body on Saturday, June 28, 1997. Finally, we will send you our State Nurses Association a list of contracts for local ADAPT groups in order to encourage dialogue on ways to create consumer driven attendant. We would welcome the opportunity to review and comment on any Federal legislation that is of importance to your organization. Sincerely, [Signed] Christine M. de Vries [Typed] Christine M. de Vries Deputy Executive Director for Geri Marullo, MSN, RN Executive Director I:\ADAPT.LTR
