Dear Mr. President: 
I understand that Mr. John D. Kemp is under consideration for nomination as a member of the National Council on Disability. As I have known John for over 20 years and regard him with the greatest respect, it is both a pleasure and an honor for me to endorse his appointment to the National Council. 

No doubt about it, John would bring strong personal and professional credentials to this position. As you may know, John was born with severe disabilities, which he overcame through hard work and character. He is a graduate of Washburn University Law School in Topeka, Kansas, my alma mater. He is currently Executive Director of the United Cerebral Palsy Associations, Inc., one of the nation's leading voluntary organizations serving people with disabilities. Before joining UCPA, he had an impressive record of accomplishment with the National Easter Seal Society. 

John is a well known and respected authority on issues concerning people with disabilities. He has provided important and useful testimony and advice to numerous Congressional committees and Federal agencies. Given the National Council's statutory role to advise the Congress and the President on disability policy, I believe such experience and expertise is a valuable credential for a National Council member. 

If I can provide any further information, please let me know. 

With best regards, 
Sincerely, 

(Signature) 
Bob Dole
