Dear Mr. Rawls:

I have been contacted by many constituents who are curious about
ADA regulations and what types of circumstances would merit
exemptions to compliance. One such situation involves a charity
soup kitchen with two employees, located in a building owned and
operated by the Salvation Army. If such an operation made
alterations to its kitchen, would it be required to comply with
ADA? If so, what specific laws and regulations should it have to
follow?
I appreciate your attention to this request and look forward to a
prompt response in regard to this matter.

                                Sincerely,
                                Charles E. Grassley
                                United States Senator
