Left side heading: TOM HARKIN IOWA Right side heading illegible. United States Senate WASHINGTON, DC 20510-1502 5/16/01 To Members of ADAPT, I'm sorry that I'm not able to be with you in person today, but I did want to share a few thoughts...at least by letter. Over the past few years, we've won some pretty big battles together on the ADA, IDEA, and many others. But as a writer from my home state of Iowa once noted, "The greatest danger is to rest when a battle has been won, but the war is not over." Well, our war is far from over, and it's getting tougher every day. As many of you know, this past week, we've seen some pretty awful amendments to IDEA — amendments that would turn the clock way back on our children with disabilities. I've been fighting hard to make sure that these don't pass. But rather than look back, I'm ready to look to the future. And I hope you are, too, In the next three weeks, I will be re-introducing IvliCASSA, because there is nothing that will stop me from leading the fight against the continued segregation of people with disabilities. Working together, we're going to pass MiCASSA because it's good policy, it's good economics, and it's unconscionable that people with disabilities are denied the basic freedom to live in their own communities. So I look forward to continuing to work with all of you toward a day when there is finally a level playing field for people with disabilities. Keep up your outstanding work and, whatever you do, continue to fight the good fight. Your Friend, [signed] Tom Harkin [typed] Tom Harkin [illegible addresses in the footer]

PHOTO: A long line of ADAPT folks marches down the side of [I believe] H St in Washington DC. Across the street, above marchers and traffic is a huge gate to Chinatown, with turrets and golden pagoda rooves and ornate tiles. On the left side of the street is all three story row houses. Small trees grow on both sides of the street. Much further down the street looms a large black building, either over the street or at the end. Most of the marchers are wearing yellow ADAPT shirts. The apparent end of the marchers are crossing the street to join the rest on the left side.

Americans with disabilities are still Americans. They should not be locked into nursing homes against their wills, nor should they be robbed of their homes in order to pay to stay in those homes. With a little professional help, disabled people can live in their own homes. This bill will allow them to do so. I look forward to seeing this bill passed and signed into law. Sincerely, [signed] Robert A. Brady [typed] Robert A. Brady Member of Congress
