Reagan attacks rights of disabled, group says
A coalition of groups for the disabled and elderly accuses the Reagan administration of an unprecedented attack on disabled citizens. They released a 108 page report titled Trust Betrayed Hope Denied at a Senate office news conference led by Edward V. Roberts. The groups claim funding cuts and a dismantling of safety nets threaten independence for many disabled people. Roberts cites California cases of SSI and Social Security Disability roll reductions and warns of looser auto safety and workplace standards increasing disability rates.
