The National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) has been selected to
testify about the need for additional funding for Centers for Independent
Living (CILs). Last year, Title VII, Part C (funding for CILs) received an
additional $4.5 million in the 2002 budget.
This year President Bush budgeted an additional $7 million, NCIL is
requesting the amount be increased to $25 million.
REPRESENTATIVES of every CIL AND SILC within a 6 state radius of DC, as
well as friends in the larger disability rights community are encoraged to
attend the hearing.
WHEN: APRIL 30, 1:00 P.M. ET
