ATTENDANT-SERVICE-FORUM
To  : ALL
     Day three of the actions topped it all off.
Taking the Metro into DC  ADAPT marched to the Health
and Human Services building for the final
confrontation of this action.  Lining up in front of
the building, ADAPT  activist began chanting loudly and
angrily "WE WANT SULLIVAN!"  THe cops  strenghtened
their stance.  As chants got angrier activists rolled
forward some began to climb down from their chairs and
crawl through the cop cars  which had been pulled in to
block our passage.  The cops rushed in to  reinforce
the cars with people and used their legs to keep the
crawlers  out.  Several activists were held in knee
locks, around their necks, during  the afternoon long
press for entrance to the building.  Other ADAPT
members went around to block all the other doors.
Skirmishes continued  around the building, and at one
point electric wheelchair users blocked  the
underground garage.  The building was shut down all
afternoon, and at  6pm we held a press conference
announcing our next action was to be in  Orlando in
October.
