Hi Gary.... As the law stands as passed, transportation does get a 
bit of a break. I don't believe there will be much in the way of 
backlash to worry aabout (Except of course those who will find 
something wrong with ANYTHING new or different.) If Pres. Bush gets 
it signed into law, I firmly believe changes will begin to happen 
immediately. In the most recent publication of The UN/Limited, we 
have printed the latest information from the minutes of the Texas 
Council On Disabilities... We have followed recent movements of the 
State of Texas and their attempt, (thus far, successful) in bringing 
Texas toward the acceptance of the disabled as a powerful block of 
ideas...
