Harkin decries disability rights treaty unlikely to pass
Senator Tom Harkin voiced dismay that the effort to extend the Americans with Disabilities Act protections to the international arena may fail to secure 67 Senate votes. He urged GOP allies and cited opposition from conservative groups though some Republicans had shown support. He warned the move would deny Americans with disabilities overseas access and rights and noted the U.S. would cede implementation to the Supreme Court if ratified.
