Episode Summary:
On January 29th, the House Education and Labor Committee held a hearing on the ADA Restoration Act. Unfortunately, I was home sick with the flu so was unable to attend in person. However, this podcast still contains clips of the oral testimony from witnesses in their own words courtesy of the Ed and Labor Committee's webcast records.
