Proclamation 4656 of April 10, 1979

National Architectural Barrier Awareness Week, 1979 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Architectural and other barriers often keep millions of Americans from participating in and contributing to our society. These barriers come in all shapes and sizes—from a six-inch curb and inaccessible bus to an unbrailled menu and uncaptioned news broadcast. These physical and other kinds of barriers deny daily access for millions of America's elderly and handicapped citizens to jobs, transportation, recreation and public service. Attitudes and customs contribute to this problem. Physical access often determines whether people can enjoy their rights and freedoms and exercise their responsibilities. Most of us take such access for granted. However, many disabled and disabled elderly cannot. 42 USC 4151 note29 USC 792.

The first Federal legislation to eliminate barriers was the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968. To help implement that law. Congress created—within Section 502 of the Rehabihtation Act of 1973—the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board. The Board has worked to remove and prevent environmental barriers in this country. By doing so it helps ensure that disabled persons can enter and use facilities that their tax dollars support. And it helps inform Federal agencies that these facilities must be accessible from the time United States dollars are used to design, build, alter or lease them. The Board has mounted a national media campaign about barriers under its slogan, "Access America." In May 1979 it will launch a series of national seminars on barriers for leaders in business, industry and education. The Board is also surveying more than 1,000 federally-owned and funded facilities in the ten federal regions to assess compliance with Federal law.
