This historic act is the world's first comprehensive declaration of equality for people with disabilities.
George H.W. Bush
The Public Record
George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States, serving from January 20, 1989, to January 20, 1993. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of Vice President under Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1989. Bush was a World War II veteran and served in various roles within the U.S. government, including as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1976 to 1977. His presidency is noted for significant events such as the Gulf War and the fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as his efforts in foreign policy and international diplomacy.
Today, I am signing S. 933, the 'Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.'
There's a magic in it, a magic that's felt most of all here in Wyoming, the closest State we have to the Old West.
You walk down any street here and ask about the kids, and you want to make the choice -- you want to make it -- about their care.
I have a funny feeling that Wyoming's sons and daughters might understand more than most why I feel so strongly about the flag of the United States.
Education -- it's not a Republican issue or it's not a Democratic issue.
Finally, let me close with perhaps the greatest Wyoming value of all -- neighborhoods and hearts as big as the open sky.
