    Administration

        The President today announced his intention to nominate Fredric K.
    Schroeder as Commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services Administration
    (RSA).
        ``As one who gradually became blind as a teenager, Dr. Schroeder
    knows all too well the challenges facing people with disabilities,'' the
    President said. ``He has devoted his life to empowering disabled people,
    and I'm confident he will continue in his new assignment to help
    disabled Americans achieve their goals.''

    Press Secretary.
