Honorable Porter Goss
House of Representatives
224 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Congressman Goss:

I am writing as a representative of the residents
of a fairly new 64 unit apartment building regard-
ing access of the handicapped to our building. The
handicapped have no access to our lobby because of
the lack of doors allowing opening without assistance
by another person. In lieu of adequate access
through the lobby, the handicapped residents and guests
must use the freight elevator.

It is requested that we be furnished the applicable
federal statutes regarding access of the handicapped
and any implementing regulations of HUD or other
implementing agencies.   While we understand that some
of these statutes and regulations may only be ap-
plicable to public buildings, we believe they will
assist us in using public policy  and/or moral suasion
to convince management to remedy the present situ-
ation.

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to give
regarding this matter.

                               Very truly yours,
                                          (b)(6)

                                     XX
