overall purpose is to promote policies, programs, practices, and

disabilities, regardless of the nature of severity of the disability; 
and to empower people with disabilities to achieve economic self-
sufficiency, independent living, and inclusion and integration into all 
aspects of society.
    This committee is necessary to provide advice and recommendations 
to NCD on international disability issues.
    We currently have balanced membership representing a variety of 
disabling conditions from across the United States.
