THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

November 4, 1996

Mr. Michael Oxford
ADAPT
835 800 East Road
Lawrence, Kansas 66047

Dear Michael:
The President is proud of his record on disability right issues. President Clinton's administration has continued to build policies based on the three simple creeds of inclusion, independence, and empowerment. Last year the President vetoed legislation that would have eliminated the Medicaid guarantee of health care and independence so important to individuals with disabilities. His administration has vigorously enforced the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, and other civil rights laws.

To this end we will convene a meeting with the President, ADAPT, and other disability right leaders to discuss what we can do together to further our efforts on such issues as personal attendant, home and community based services, and other issues that are important to people with disabilities. Provided the President is re—elected, we will convene this meeting in the first quarter of next year. I will be in touch with you directly to discuss the appropriate arrangements for this meeting.

Sincerely
Alexis Herman
Assistant to the President / Director of Public Liaison
