'Many federal agencies and much federal legislation call on diverse stakeholders to work together on issues of importance to persons with disabilities. The National Goals book derived from the conference is an exceptional example of the wisdom of such expectations. The many federal and state government, professional, advocacy and academic agencies and organizations that supported this effort should take pride in the product of their commitments and contributions. Most importantly, in that same spirit, they should continue to work together to fulfill the recommendations and achieve the goals outlined in the book.' --Robert (Bobby) Silverstein, Center for the Study and Advancement of Disability Policy
