Denver Post 3/13/90 Handicapped stage crawl-in protest up steps of Capitol Slow pace of access legislation attacked By the Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON — Crawling up the Capitol steps to dramatize the barriers confronting them, scores of disabled persons rallied yesterday to protest delays in congressional action on a Senate-passed bill to expand their access to jobs, transportation and public services. The legislation, endorsed by President Bush, has broad bipartisan backing but has been moving at glacial speed through four House committees since it was approved overwhelmingly by the Senate last September. When dozens left their wheelchairs to crawl to the Capitol entrance, spectators’ attention focused on 8-year-old Jennifer Keelan of Denver, who propelled herself to the top of the steep stone steps using only her knees and elbows. The demonstration at the West Front of the Capitol had some of the fervor of a civil rights rally of the 1960s as the demonstrators chanted slogans and sang songs to underscore their message to Congress. Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo., told the crowd: “What we did for civil rights in the 1960s we forgot to do for people with disabilities." Justin Dart, chairman of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities. told the rally, “Two centuries is long enough for people with disabilities to wait before the constitutional promise of justice is kept.” “If we have to come back, perhaps we’ll simply stay until they pass (the bill),” said I. King Jordan, first deaf president of Gallaudet College for the deaf located nearby, hinting at a disabled camp-in on Capitol Hill. Organizers of the rally said disabled persons from 30 states, including many in wheelchairs, came to demand immediate action on the bill without any weakening amendments. Despite grumbling from rally goers that the Bush Administration and Democratic leaders were relaxing their efforts on behalf of the measure, key advocates predicted the House logjam will be broken in the next few weeks. Chairman Evan Kemp of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission denied any lack of enthusiasm by the White House.

Los Angeles Times Tuesday March 13, 1990 Disabled Persons Rally, Crawl Up Capitol Steps Congress: Scores protest delays in passage of rights legislation. The logjam in the House is expected to break soon. By WILLIAM J. EATON Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON—-Crawling up the Capitol steps to dramatize the barriers confronting them, scores of disabled persons rallied Monday to protest delays in congressional action on a Senate-passed bill to expand their access to jobs, transportation and public services. The legislation, endorsed by President Bush, has broad bipartisan backing but has been moving at glacial speed through four House committees since it was approved overwhelmingly by the Senate last September. “Two centuries is long enough for people with disabilities to wait before the constitutional promise of justice is kept," Justin W. Dart Jr., chairman of the President's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, told the rally. “If we have to come back, perhaps we'll simply stay until they pass [the bill]," said I. King Jordan, first deaf president of Gallaudet college for the deaf, hinting at a Capitol Hill camp-in for the disabled. Organizers of the rally said disabled persons from 30 states, including many in wheelchairs, came to demand immediate action on the bill without any weakening amendments. At the close of the rally, when dozens left their wheelchairs to crawl to the Capitol entrance, spectators’ attention focused on 8-year-old Jennifer Keelan of Denver, who propelled herself to the top of the steep stone steps using only her knees and elbows. Nearby, sprawled on her back and inching ahead slowly, was Paulette Patterson, 33, of Chicago. “I want my civil rights," Patterson said. "I want to be treated like a human being." Despite grumbling from rally-goers that the Bush Administration and Democratic leaders were relaxing their efforts on behalf of the measure, key advocates predicted the House log-jam will be broken in the next few weeks. The House Energy and Commerce Committee is expected to approve its part of the legislation today, followed by similar action by the Public Works and Judiciary committees. Final House passage appears likely to occur by May. Ralph Neas, executive director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, said the unusual lobbying effort would provide a "final push" to the legislation, which he forecast would clear the House with no more than 100 votes against it. The demonstration at the West Front of the Capitol had some of the fervor of a civil rights rally of the 1960s as the demonstrators chanted slogans and sang songs to underscore their message to Congress. Rep. Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo.) made the comparison, telling the crowd; “What we did for civil rights in the l960s we forgot to do for people with disabilities." Another member of Congress, Rep. Major R. Owens (D-N.Y.), said there are still threats to passage of the bill from conservative lawmakers and powerful business interests who oppose the legislation's provisions on disabled access to transportation. “All the i’s have been dotted and all the t's have been crossed," Owens said. "There have been enough negotiations-delay is the real enemy." Speaking for the Bush Administration however, Chairman Evan J. Kemp Jr. of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission denied any lack of enthusiasm by the White House. Kemp, who uses a wheelchair, said: "This Administration is more for the bill today than it was 14 months ago.... We have solidarity. Solidarity made Poland free; It can make us free, too." But James Brady, former press secretary to President Ronald Reagan, expressed impatience with Congress’ rate of progress. “l hope these politicians are awake and listening. If not. we'll be back." said Brady, who was disabled when he was shot in the head during an attempt on Reagan's life. Meantime, Atty. Gen. Dick Thornburgh notified key members of the House that the Administration would seek a change in the Senate passed bill to make clear that disabled persons who are willfully discriminated against would not be entitled to monetary damages. The "clarifying amendment" will be introduced during the House Judiciary Committee's consideration of the bill this month, Thornburgh said, adding; "We will . . . continue to support expeditious passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act with this clarification."

Scores of disabled people crawled up the steps of the U.S. Capitol, in a protest over delays in congressional action on a bill to expand their access to jobs, transportation and public services. Many of the demonstrators left their wheelchairs to dramatize the barriers they confront dally, organizers said.

3/13/90 Capitol Steps Climbed in Protest by Disabled WASHINGTON (AP) — Using her arms to drag her small body up the Capitol steps, 8-year old Jennifer Keelan joined some 60 disabled Americans Monday in lobbying for legislation to guarantee their civil rights“. “l‘ll take all night if I have to," Jennlfer said to others crawling along side her. She paused just past the halfway point for a sip of water on a bright and unseasonably hot March day, then resumed pulling herself up the rest of the 83 marble steps. Keelan, a ‘blond-haired second grader from Denver, was the youngest of about 60 people with disabilities who left their wheelchairs and crawled up the West Front of the Capitol. They were making a symbolic protest to demand passage of a key bill now pending in the House that would extend civil rights to disabled persons. She and the others climbed the Capitol steps after about 1,000 people walked or rode in wheelchairs down Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House to the Capitol and held a rally at the base of the Capitol steps. The were demanding passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which passed the Senate last year but has been bogged down in the House this year, despite widespread predictions of its ultimate passage. The measure would outlaw discrimination based on physical or mental disability in employment, access to buildings, use of the telephone system, use of public and private transportation systems, and in other areas. Although the hill has the support of the Bush administration and congressional leaders, some supporters have begun questioning the administration‘s commitment in recent weeks. At the White House, Bush press secretary Marlin Fitzwater denied that the support was slipping and said the administration was negotiating over the bill with key members of Congress. "We do support the legislation," Fitzwater said. "We're very supportive of their rights and their cause. President Bush has spoken out on that in the past." Rep. Pat Schroeder, D-Colo, a supporter of the bill, told the rally that pressure was building for the bill and that the House Energy and Commerce Committee had scheduled its vote on the measure for Tuesday as a result.
