June 25, 1992 Congressman Frank R. Wolf 104 Cannon House Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Congressman Wolf: I am writing this letter in reaction to a situation that has occurred in my efforts to add an office area to my business, a situation that arose due to the new Americans Disability Act. Although I agree that handicapped individuals should have the opportunity to pursue a productive life, I wonder if you and other law makers really know the problems that now exist for business and property owners. In order to move three offices, three people, and improve my service to the community of Winchester and Frederick County, I must place a new bathroom and drinking fountain, special kinds, with 30 feet of existing facilities in an area that will see little public use. The thing that blew my mind most of all is the expense of placing a sidewalk from a major four-lane road to my building. This side- walk will not be used, as those using my service do not walk into my place of business. In fact, even my postman drives up to the door for mail delivery. I would hope that when congress enacts such laws, that they would not let the civil servents, who in my mind know very little about the real world of business, write the regulations for these laws. (b)(6) 01-01508 Congressman Frank R. Wolf June 25, 1992 Page 2 Please, before you vote on these things, know what is there, debate them, correct them, think of everyone. Sincerely yours, (b)(6) President DKG/sm 01-01509
