In every State, certain activities are taking place, although not the same thing. Different States do different things. Senator Brown mentioned that in Iowa we are collecting stories from all of our 99 counties from people with disabilities, from families and friends who know of what has happened in the life of a person with a disability and has been affected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. I am participating this weekend in several events in Iowa commemorating the ADA. In every State we are doing this. It is happening all over the country. Of course, it is happening in Washington, DC, as well. Next Monday there will be a series of events. At 10 a.m. there will be a panel discussion that will take place in the Kennedy Caucus Room in the Russell Building. That is from 10 to 12 noon. Everyone is invited.
Tom Harkin: “In every State, certain activities are taking place, although not the same thing. Different States do different things.…”
