    Nomination for the National Council on Disability
    May 7, 1993

        The President announced today that he intends to nominate five new
    members to the National Council on Disability and that he has approved
    the nomination for reappointment of two others.

    on Disability,'' said the President. ``With the passage of the Americans

    president and executive director of Access Living of Metropolitan
    Chicago. Following her confirmation and appointment, Bristo will be
    designated by the President as Chair of the Commission.

            Living;
