national standards and model codes, and continue to meet the needs of 
individuals with disabilities. The advisory committee is composed of 
organizations representing individuals with disabilities, model code 
organizations, professional associations, State and local governments, 
building owners and operators, and other organizations. The advisory 
committee has formed the following subcommittees to assist in its work: 
Editorial, Accessible Routes, Communications, Plumbing, and Special 
Occupancies. The subcommittees will present their recommendations to 
the full advisory committee in November 1995. The full advisory
