This morning we are resuming the hearings on H.R. 8395 and related amendments to the Rehabilitation Act. Our first witness this morning is the Honorable Stewart B. McKinney, Congressman from Connecticut. Congressman, we welcome you. STATEMENT OF HON. STEWART B. MCKINNEY, A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM THE FOURTH DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT Mr. MCKINNEY. Mr. Chairman, I would like to preface my remarks by thanking you and the committee for inviting me to testify. I simply cannot overemphasize from my years of involvement with the handicapped the importance of your task in dealing with the problems of the handicapped and also to express the gratitude of many Americans for the progressive steps which you have taken in the past to alleviate their problems. I am here to discuss H.R. 8395, the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1972, and the effects it will have on one specific area of great concern to me, the spinal cord injured. In this legislation, we define the "severely handicapped" as one whose injury is so serious that he can no longer function in his community and that "vocational rehabilitation" will make a "substantial contribution" in restoring the individual's chances for a new life. Like all definitions, there is a very wide area of discretion here regarding who qualifies under this assistance. I find it ironic that the very system which is called upon to make this decision is itself "severely handicapped" that is, unable to function in the behalf of one particular segment of the community, and that if we don't recognize this state of affairs, then all we do here is lost.
