The White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals: Delegate Workbook. Workshop VI: Economic Concerns. Employment/Economic Opportunity/Economic Security.
The sixth of eight delegate workbooks prepared for the May, 1977 White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals contains ballots for the workshop on employment, economic opportunity and economic security. The ballots are designed to enable delegates to assign priorities to various issues and proposals in a way that reflects conclusions of state and territorial conferences. The following issues are among those considered: modification of state and federal statutes and regulations to expand employment opportunities; implementation of job training, career and vocational education programs; modification of state property taxes to improve access to adequate housing; employment preferences for severely disabled veterans; and modification of supervisors' attitudes to insure equal opportunities for career advancement. For each such topic, multiple proposals, to which delegates must assign priorities, are listed. For example, ways suggested to remove barriers to good credit ratings for the handicapped include strenghening of state legislation against discrimination, amending the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to include physical disabilities and amending the Truth in Lending Act to extend the payment period on installment contracts.
