months following his appointment as head of RSA.
". . . Beause the issues we address today involve the fundamental
human rights of millions of people with disabilities, and the
basic principles of democracy and good government of the President,
Congress and the Nations, I am going to depart from politics as
usual protocol to make a statement of conscience." [Click
