[This is from the Spinal Injury Conference]

   Workers were piling up in the parking lot as swing
shifts successively  were let out from work.  There
were about 4,000 cars in the parking lots  and no way
out.  Finally the cops constructed ADAPT Road, by
driving back  and forth across the narrowest part of
the grassy embankment surrounding  the rest of the
complex, and creating make shift ramps across the
curbs.   Witnesses said the line of cars was something
to see.
    Finally at about 7pm, when 80% of the cars were
finally out of the  area, ADAPT formed up and marched
out proudly, another successful action! Sullivan has
heard our demand to meet with him, and hear what his
refusal  has brought down.
   Tomorrow we head for the belly of the beast, into DC
and straight for  the Health and Human Services
Administration.  Gail Wilensky, head of  Health Care
Financing Adminstration, is holding a  press conference
to announce the morbidity (death) rate of nursing homes
for last year.  ADAPT will have a few announcements to
make of our own.
