MEMORANDUM TO SENATOR DOLE

DA: April 1, 1995
FR: Alec Vachon
RE: FYI/FIRST TRIP TO KANSAS NEXT WEEK

* Next week I will be visiting constituents in Topeka and Wichita. Highlight of visit will be attending "4TH KANSAS DISABILITY CAUCUS" (rump meeting of 150-200 Kansans involved in disability issues held every 3 years--organized by Gina McDonald and the Kansas Centers on Independent Living). Over the past two years--since joining your staff--I have been very impressed with the scope and depth of disability action in Kansas. Although I meet frequently w/Kansans here, and have formed some excellent working relationships, I am looking forward to visiting w/Kansans on home turf.

* OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF KANSAS TRIP:

WEDNESDAY (LAWRENCE/TOPEKA)

-- UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS/LAWRENCE-- Tour Beach Center/Dole building; meet w/professors & staff of Department of Special Education and other KU disability programs to discuss upcoming reauthorization of special education law, funding for their programs, etc.

-- KANSAS COMMISSION ON DISABILITY CONCERNS-- Meet with Commission members & staff re legislative issues.

THURSDAY (TOPEKA)

-- LEGISLATIVE RECEPTION AT CAPITOL FOR KANSAS DISABILITY CAUCUS AND STATE LEGISLATORS.

-- FAMILIES TOGETHER (Federally funded project that assists parents with disabled children)--Discuss special education, Children's SSI, etc.

-- SPEAK AT LUNCH TO KANSAS DISABILITY CAUCUS PARTICIPANTS

FRIDAY (WICHITA)

-- CEREBRAL PALSY RESEARCH FOUNDATION--Tour their facilities, meet with Jack Jonas, etc.

-- HUTCHINSON HEIGHTS--Virginia Hulet would never forgive me--nor let me forget it--if I came to Wichita and did not see HH.
