“The concern I have is that it is sort of like we will have a Federal program, but we are going to hide it; that we are not going to let anybody know about it. I do not think that a Federal agency should go out and recruit people to benefit from a program. If a program is a legal program, I am concerned about getting to the point of trying to say we are going to have this program but we do not want to tell anybody about it. If you are lucky enough to find out about it on your own, maybe you could come and apply for the benefits. We are talking about people who are disabled. A lot of them are disabled. They cannot get anywhere. How do they find out about it?”
