(page 1) BOB DOLE UNITED STATES SENATE April 17, 1995 Dear Friends, I am sorry not to be with you today, but I deeply appreciate your Leadership Award. As many of you know, disability has not been only a legislative issue for me, but a personal one as well. Indeed, I hope that Americans with disabilities think of me not only as a U.S.Senator, but as their advocate in the Senate as well. Today, many more Americans have a better chance for full, independent lives than even a few years ago. It has been my privilege to help make this possible. I think you know my high regard for UCPA. Every day, your work makes all the difference for thousands of people with disabilities. And I rely upon your staff for their good advice. If the Senate gave Leadership Awards, UCPA would be at the top of my list. We have a lot of work to do--and you can count on me. And I know I can count on UCPA.
