32. Bonus Question for $10,000 In what year did a self-advocate first testify in front of a Congressional hearing? Answer. 1973--Hearing before the Subcommittee on the Handicapped, February 8, 1973.Senator JAVITS. Do you feel that a "bill of rights," such as we are contemplating, should protect not only those classified as "mentally retarded" but also the "developmentally disabled." Mr. POETZ. It should cover everybody under that label. I feel that would do a lot more good. In order to make it work, there should be standards set by Congress to say, "Here, you meet these standards before any money is given out through regional councils." Senator JAVITS. I gather you join Mr. Bartlette in the feeling about consumer satisfaction? Mr. POETZ. Very strongly. I would like to recommend that it be mandatory that a consumer be on the regional boards. We have been sitting here all day, listening to parents who say, "Here, the retarded shouldn't be put under mandatory regulations because the parents feel that they can be more objective." I don't buy that one bit. The money is going to [a]ffect us and, as you know, as soon as it leaves Washington, it can disappear into a program and you can't find where it went. If we can't have some idea of where the money is going, it won't do one bit of good. I think that a consumer should be mandatory on these regional committees no matter who says what, because we have a bigger stake in it than anybody else does. Senator JAVITS. I can understand why Mr. Bartlette said you were the most important witness we have today. Thank you very much for your testimony. It appeals to me very deeply. $10,000
