WASHINGTON (UPI) – President Bush on Thursday introduced a plan intended to help the nation's 54 million disabled Americans.
In a ceremony held in the East Room of the White House, Bush made his announcement seated behind a 37.5-inch podium constructed to accommodate wheelchairs. He was flanked by his wife, Laura, and Jim Mullen, a Chicago police officer wounded in the line of duty who is now a quadriplegic.
Also attending were Sens. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, and many other disability advocates.
"We are more mindful now of the hardships that come with disability, more generous in responding to the needs of our citizens, more grateful for the contributions you make to our society," Bush said, announcing that he sent legislation called the New Freedom Initiative to Capitol Hill.
