On the recordMay 10, 1994
What an incredible record you have: You are a $3 billion service delivery program that returns about $10 on every $1 invested; You assist a million of our society's citizens with disabilities every year, and every year you situate a quarter of a million of those Americans in meaningful and productive jobs; and Within 4 years, the reduction in public assistance payments for people who've received your services offsets the amount it took to rehabilitate them. That's a human investment program in every sense. But what's most impressive to me is that public service is not just your job but a life commitment.
