RE : Gorton Amendment to HR 2646

Dear Senator Boxer:

Senator Gorton  (R-WA) has attached a terrible discipline amendment to HR 2646 which has
already passed the House and is scheduled for a vote in the Senate today, Wednesday, March
25, 1998 .

This amendment will gut protections for children with disabilities and allow renewed attacks on
the IDEA.  I beg of you to vote NO on the Gorton amendment to HR 2646!!!!

Senator Gorton is not a friend of people with disabilities.  He has a long track record of attacks
on the rights of people with disabilities, and this latest action ......CANNOT BE ALLOWED!!!

The disability community is one of the largest and most underrepresented groups in the State as
well in the nation.

We at Deaf Watch Newsletter  thank you very much for your time to read this letter and
anticipate your support.

Sincerely,


Richard Roehm
