On the 17th anniversary of the ADA ...

-- From the National Council on Disability: "two reports on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ... show that ADA implementation is not only possible and practicable, it is also good for business."

-- From Radio Iowa: Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin intends to introduce language to "restore the intent" of the ADA, which he says no longer offers protections to people with epilepsy, diabetes and cancer.

-- From WUSA-TV in Washington, D.C. -- Legal advocates say courts have eroded the rights of people by allowing employers to say a person is too disabled to do the job, but not disabled enough to be protected. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) say they will co-sponsor new legislation to restore the ADA to its previous mission.
