TOPEKA INDEPENDENT LIVING RESOURCE CENTER, INC. July 6, 1990 The Honorable U.S. Senator Bob Dole 141 Hart Senate Office Bldg. Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Dole, I am wanting to again express my appreciation of your continued work and effort to see the eventual passing of S.933, The Americans With Disabilities Act. Being the strongest disability related legislation ever prepared in this country, we find it to be a very volatile subject at times. I know that many disability organizations have chosen to force you into a very uncomfortable, and in my opinion, unwarranted decision. I want to make sure you know that there are many of out here that very much appreciate your strong but cautious approach to the passage of the ADA. After all, none of us wants the wrong piece of legislation passed either. In fact, the man who would put their name on a document without arguing its content or intent would be foolish. We support your efforts to protect the ADA. Please keep it up. Very respectfully yours, (Michael Donnelly's signature) Michael Donnelly Executive Director MD:lp P.S. We sincerely hope to see you at the Second Kansas Disabilities Caucus in September. m.d.
