ABSTRACT
One of my proudest moments as President occurred on July 26, 1990-the day I signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law (see Photograph 1). With its passage, a shameful wall of exclusion came tumbling down. This landmark legislation was the culmination of the dedicated efforts of so many, and I salute the bipartisan leadership of the Congress-as well as the countless advocates from all parts of society who contributed to our success. It was a team effort.
