                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the establishment of a 
                         Disability Arts Month.

Whereas the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336) 
        guarantees equal rights and equal opportunity to more than 54,000,000 
        American citizens with disabilities;
Whereas people of all ages can benefit from exposure to the arts;
Whereas exposure to the arts can enhance a person's success in school, work, and 
        relations with others;
Whereas exposure to the arts promotes a deeper understanding of the diversity 
        and richness of human experience; and
Whereas the establishment of a Disability Arts Month would provide an 
        opportunity to recognize and reflect on the many accomplishments of 
        American artists with disabilities who have greatly enhanced the quality 
        of life of the people of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a Disability Arts Month should be established; and
            (2) the President should issue a proclamation calling on 
        the people of the United States to observe such a month with 
        appropriate programs and activities.
                                 <all>
