Dear Mayor McNichols:

I am writing this letter to endorse the Atlantis Community proposal submitted by Ingo Antonitsch. I understand that the proposal recently has reached your office.

The handicapped traditionally have had extreme difficulty finding suitably constructed housing located near necessary medical facilities. As Mr. Antonitsch points out in his proposal, housing the handicapped in nursing homes has proven unsatisfactory. Constructing a facility such as the Atlantis Community will help encourage their assimilation into society by providing a specialized rehabilitation center. Atlantis will fill needs that otherwise would be neglected.

I urge your acceptance of Mr. Antonitsch's program. It is a giant step toward a long overdue goal -- helping the handicapped become full and productive members of society.

Please keep my Denver District Office informed of the progress of this proposal.

With kind regards,

Sincerely,

Patricia Schroeder
Member of Congress
