Washington, D.C. 20515-3816

Dear Congressman Walker:

        This letter is in response to your inquiry on behalf of your
constituents, Mr. and Mrs. XXXX. They have requested
information about workshops explaining the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) to businesses.

        While the Department of Justice does supply speakers for ADA
seminars and conferences, we currently have no speaking engage-
ments scheduled in Pennsylvania. The XXXXXX may wish to
contact the Council of Better Business Bureaus' Foundation, which
has received a grant from the Department of Justice to educate
small and medium-sized businesses about the ADA's requirements,
for information about ADA training activities in their area. The
Foundation is located at 4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 800,
Arlington, Virginia 22203-1804, telephone (703) 276-0100.

        Another useful resource is the Region 3 Disability and
Business Technical Assistance Center (which serves Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia), operated under
a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilita-
tion Research. The Center may be reached through a toll-free
number at 1-800-949-4232.

        Enclosed are copies of the Department of Justice's ADA title
III technical assistance manual and regulation, which provide
information on ADA requirements applicable to businesses.
