FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1999 (202) 514-2007 WWW.USDOJ.GOV TDD (202) 514-1888 NOTE TO EDITORS AND CORRESPONDENTS CORRECTION TO JUSTICE DEPARTMENT PRESS RELEASE WASHINGTON, D.C. - A press release issued today concerning a settlement between the city of Chicago and the Justice Department contains a typographical error. In the first sentence of the press release, it states the city of Chicago has agreed to compensate an individual it "illegally"fired because of a disability - the sentence should read, the city of Chicago has agreed to compensate an individual it "allegedly" fired because of a disability, under an agreement reached today with the Justice Department. We regret the error. A corrected release accompanies this notice. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Public Affairs on 514-2007. # # # 99-441
