Peter DeFazio: “Thirty-six years I have been here working these issues, and the forces of inertia and not getting things done in…”

It has been three decades--I have been here 36 years, and I was in my second term when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, signed by G.H.W. Bush and significantly amended in 2008 and signed by G.W. Bush.

I was a rehabilitation counselor. So, I am quite familiar with some of the struggles.

I think there is going to be a lot of work coming.

I am proud of the work of this committee and this Congress, as a whole, for these last 2 years to break through that inertia and deliver for the American people.
