Nadler held a hearing on the Americans with Disabilities Act and worked hard to shepherd the bill through the House.

Nadler. “I thank the President for his good judgment in signing this legislation into law, and I thank the many Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle for their impressive efforts in making this a reality. This new legislation will provide veterans and disabled Americans with enhanced protections against employers who would discriminate on the basis of disability. We must continue to ensure that no such discrimination against the disabled be tolerated, and that individuals with disabilities are afforded every opportunity to use their professional talents and contribute to our society. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.” |
