    Section 101 (42 U.S.C. 6000) is amended to read as follows:

``SEC. 101. FINDINGS, PURPOSES, AND POLICY.

    ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            ``(1) in 1993 there are more than 3,000,000 individuals 
        with developmental disabilities in the United States;
            ``(2) disability is a natural part of the human experience 
        and in no way diminishes the right of individuals with 
        developmental disabilities to live independently, enjoy self-
        determination, make choices, contribute to society, and 
        experience full integration and inclusion in the economic, 
        political, social, cultural, and educational mainstream of 
        American society;
            ``(3) individuals with developmental disabilities 
        continually encounter various forms of discrimination in such 
        critical areas as employment, housing, public accommodations, 
        education, transportation, communication, recreation, 
        institutionalization, health services, voting, and public 
        services;
            ``(4) there is a lack of public awareness of the 
        capabilities and competencies of individuals with developmental 
        disabilities;
            ``(5) individuals whose disabilities occur during their 
        developmental period frequently have severe disabilities that 
        are likely to continue indefinitely;
            ``(6) individuals with developmental disabilities and their 
        families often require specialized lifelong assistance, 
        provided in a coordinated and culturally competent manner by 
        many agencies, professionals, advocates, community 
        representatives, and others to eliminate barriers and to meet 
        the needs of such individuals and their families;
            ``(7) a substantial portion of individuals with 
        developmental disabilities and their families do not have 
        access to appropriate support and services from generic and 
        specialized service systems and remain unserved or underserved;
            ``(8) family members, friends, and members of the community 
        can play a central role in enhancing the lives of individuals 
        with developmental disabilities, especially when the family and 
        community are provided with the necessary services and 
        supports; and
            ``(9) the goals of the Nation properly include the goal of 
        providing individuals with developmental disabilities with the 
        opportunities and support to--
                    ``(A) make informed choices and decisions;
                    ``(B) live in homes and communities in which such 
                individuals can exercise their full rights and 
                responsibilities as citizens;
                    ``(C) pursue meaningful and productive lives;
                    ``(D) contribute to their family, community, State, 
                and Nation;
                    ``(E) have interdependent friendships and 
                relationships with others; and
                    ``(F) achieve full integration and inclusion in 
                society.
    ``(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to assure that 
individuals with developmental disabilities and their families have 
access to culturally competent services, supports, and other assistance 
and opportunities that promote independence, productivity, and 
integration and inclusion into the community, through--
            ``(1) support to State Developmental Disabilities Councils 
        in each State to promote, through systemic change, capacity 
        building, and advocacy, a consumer and family-centered, 
        comprehensive system, and a coordinated array of services, 
        supports, and other assistance for individuals with 
        developmental disabilities and their families;
            ``(2) support to protection and advocacy systems in each 
        State to protect the legal and human rights of individuals with 
        developmental disabilities;
            ``(3) support to university affiliated programs to provide 
        interdisciplinary preservice preparation of students and 
        fellows, community service activities, and the dissemination of 
        information and research findings; and
            ``(4) support to national initiatives to collect necessary 
        data, provide technical assistance to State Developmental 
        Disabilities Councils, protection, and advocacy systems and 
        university affiliated programs, and support other nationally 
        significant activities.
    ``(c) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that all 
programs, projects, and activities receiving assistance under this Act 
shall be carried out in a manner consistent with the principles that--
            ``(1) individuals with developmental disabilities, 
        including those with the most severe developmental 
        disabilities, are capable of achieving independence, 
        productivity, and integration and inclusion into the community, 
        and the provision of services, supports and other assistance 
        can improve such individuals' ability to achieve independence, 
        productivity, and integration and inclusion;
            ``(2) individuals with developmental disabilities and their 
        families are the primary decisionmakers regarding the services 
        and supports such individuals and their families receive and 
        play decisionmaking roles in policies and programs that affect 
        the lives of such individuals and their families;
            ``(3) individuals with developmental disabilities and their 
        families have competencies, capabilities and personal goals 
        that should be recognized, supported, and encouraged;
            ``(4) services, supports, and other assistance are provided 
        in a manner that demonstrates respect for individual dignity, 
        personal preferences, and cultural differences;
            ``(5) communities accept and support individuals with 
        developmental disabilities and are enriched by the full and 
        active participation and the contributions by individuals with 
        developmental disabilities and their families; and
            ``(6) individuals with developmental disabilities have 
        opportunities and the necessary support to be included in 
        community life, have interdependent relationships, live in 
        homes and communities, and make contributions to their 
        families, community, State, and Nation.''.
