Dear Mr. Chairman:
The purpose of this letter is to make a personal request that you give careful consideration to the level of funds provided to the Department of Justice, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Federal Communication Commission for the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, landmark civil rights legislation that prevents discrimination against people with disabilities.
We request that you to include, at a minimum, $2.5 million to the Justice Department and $4 million to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for salaries and expenses.
In addition, we request that you include $10 million for the Justice Department, $7 million for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and $1 million to the Federal Communications Commission for technical assistance, including public education and training.
Funding for technical assistance will be instrumental in enabling the disability community and the business community to establish partnerships that will foster voluntary compliance and in providing invaluable information to small businesses, small communities and others responsible for making the necessary accommodations required by the legislation in the most cost-effective manner. The Department of Justice, in coordination with the other federal agencies, has already developed a comprehensive technical assistance plan.
Similar technical assistance efforts, funded at a $50 million level over a three year period, were used following the issuance of regulations implementing section 504 of the
[Page 1]
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by recipients of Federal financial assistance. These effort proved to be invaluable in increasing compliance and decreasing litigation.
Thank you for considering our request.
Sincerely,
