I will comment to the distinguished Senator from Nevada about Senator Harkin's passionate advocacy for the disabled in America. He cares deeply about that issue and there is no one more eloquent on it than he is. I ask the Senator from Nevada if he is aware that Jeffrey Sutton voluntarily agreed, on a pro bono basis, to prepare and to passionately argue a case before the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio that a woman who was blind should be admitted to the Case Western University Medical School, even though he lost the case. I wonder if the Senator knew that? A lot of the Senators have not known that he has a personal concern about this issue and has given of his own wealth--that is, his time--toward that effort.
