October 1, 1992
TO: Senator Dole
FROM: Mo West
SUBJECT: Technical Assistance Legislation

The EEOC has been working with the House Education & Labor Committee on legislation (H.R.5925), the "EEOC Education, Technical Assistance, and Training Revolving Fund Act", which passed the House on September 16 and was referred to the Senate Labor & Human Resources Committee. The Committee is planning to discharge the bill today and have it passed by UC this evening.

The purpose of the bill is to establish a revolving fund within the EEOC to be supported by payments received from recipients of technical assistance and training to pay administrative and personnel expenses of providing education, technical assistance, and training relating to laws administered by the Commission. You authored both amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1991 specifically requiring the EEOC carry out training and technical assistance activities on these laws.

To start up the Fund, $1,000,000 would be transferred from the Salaries and Expenses appropriation of the Commission. Senators, Hatch, Packwood, Kennedy, Harkin and Metzenbaum are supporting passage of this bill. I believe you should support its passage as the author of EEOC’s technical assistance amendments. I just wanted you to be aware that it may come before the Senate tonight to pass by UC.
