Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Enclosed please find the blueprint for my 
``New Freedom Initiative'' to increase investment in and access 
to assistive technologies and a quality education, and help 
integrate Americans with disabilities into the workforce and 
into community life. I look forward to working with the 
Congress to ensure that these proposals are enacted into law 
and to working together to ensure that every American with a 
disability has access to the American dream.
            Sincerely,
                                                       George Bush.
