recommend to the President, through the Chair of the Task Force, a
coordinated Federal policy to reduce employment barriers for

effect on Federal programs and employment of adults with
disabilities;

research, and policy studies on public subsidies, employment,
employment discrimination, and rates of return-to-work for
individuals with disabilities;
(5) evaluate and, where appropriate, coordinate and collaborate
on, research and demonstration priorities of Task Force member
agencies related to employment of adults with disabilities;
(6) evaluate whether Federal studies related to employment and
training can, and should, include a statistically significant
sample of adults with disabilities;
(7) subject to the availability of appropriations, analyze
youth programs related to employment (e.g., Employment and
Training Administration programs, special education, vocational
rehabilitation, school-to-work transition, vocational education,
and Social Security Administration work incentives and other
programs, as may be determined by the Chair and Vice Chair of the
Task Force) and the outcomes of those programs for young people
with disabilities;
(8) evaluate whether a single governmental entity or program
should be established to provide computer and electronic
accommodations for Federal employees with disabilities;
(9) consult with the President's Committee on Mental
Retardation on policies to increase the employment of people with
mental retardation and cognitive disabilities; and
(10) recommend to the President any additional steps that can
be taken to advance the employment of adults with disabilities,
including legislative proposals, regulatory changes, and program
and budget initiatives.
(d)(1) The members of the Task Force shall make the activities
and initiatives set forth in this order a high priority within
their respective agencies within the levels provided in the
President's budget.

shall describe the actions taken by, and progress of, each member
of the Task Force in carrying out this order. The Task Force shall

adults with disabilities, by November 15, 1998, the Office of
Personnel Management, the Department of Labor, and the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission shall submit to the Task Force a
review of Federal Government personnel laws, regulations, and
policies and, as appropriate, shall recommend or implement changes
necessary to improve Federal employment policy for adults with
disabilities. This review shall include personnel practices and
actions such as: hiring, promotion, benefits, retirement, workers'

Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Social Security

prevention of people with disabilities from successfully exercising
their employment rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 [42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.] because of the receipt of
monetary benefits based on their disability and lack of gainful
employment.
(f) The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor and
the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce, in cooperation
with the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services,
the National Council on Disability, and the President's Committee
on Employment of People with Disabilities shall design and
implement a statistically reliable and accurate method to measure
the employment rate of adults with disabilities as soon as
possible, but no later than the date of termination of the Task
Force. Data derived from this methodology shall be published on as
frequent a basis as possible.
(g) All executive agencies that are not members of the Task Force
shall: (1) coordinate and cooperate with the Task Force; and (2)
review their programs and policies to ensure that they are being
conducted and delivered in a manner that facilitates and promotes
the employment of adults with disabilities. Each agency shall file
a report with the Task Force on the results of its review on
November 15, 1998.
(h) To improve employment outcomes for persons with disabilities
by addressing, among other things, the education, transition,
employment, health and rehabilitation, and independent living
issues affecting young people with disabilities, executive
departments and agencies shall coordinate and cooperate with the
Task Force to: (1) strengthen interagency research, demonstration,
and training activities relating to young people with disabilities;

opportunity for young people with disabilities; (3) promote the
views of young people with disabilities through collaboration with
the Youth Councils authorized under the Workforce Investment Act of

utilization of health insurance and health care for young people
with disabilities through the formalization of the Federal Healthy
and Ready to Work Interagency Council; (5) increase participation
by young people with disabilities in postsecondary education and
training programs; and (6) create a nationally representative Youth
Advisory Council, to be funded and chaired by the Department of
Labor, to advise the Task Force in conducting these and other
appropriate activities.

and agencies under sections 1 and 2 of this order shall, as
appropriate, further partnerships and cooperation with public and
private sector employers, organizations that represent people with
disabilities, organized labor, veteran service organizations, and
State and local governments whenever such partnerships and
cooperation are possible and would promote the employment and
gainful economic activities of individuals with disabilities.
Sec. 4. Judicial Review. This order does not create any right or
benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party
against the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any
person.
