White House to Host Handicapped Conference in 1976
President Ford announced a December 1976 White House conference to aid the nation’s 35 million disabled in reaching full capacity. Eight disability groups met with Ford who criticized only 800,000 of 28 million disabled adults being employed. He named Henry Viscardi Jr. and Jack F. Smith to lead a national planning council, noting that half of national conference delegates must be handicapped.
