Memorandum Date: March 15, 1993 To: Senator Dole From: Alec Vachon Re: Draft Script for Rainbows United Video Attached is the draft script for the Rainbows United video shoot, tentatively scheduled for March 19, which Judy Brown in­dicated you wanted to see. Your suggested talking points appear on the first and second pages of the script, as marked. Also at­tached is a memo to Dan regarding background on Rainbows United. Your remarks might be improved by a reference to the Ameri­cans with Disabilities Act, the promise of equal participation which underlies ADA, and why early intervention is so important to realizing this promise. If I can be helpful in this respect or any other, please let me know. cc: D. Stanley ·~..: . (-.
