The text describes the Board's background, planning, and activities, and contains progress reports from each agency. Appendices include: the minutes of the Board's 1973 meeting; reports on the housing, transportation, and public accessibility needs of the handicapped; a technical handbook for a facilities and engineering and construction manual; a discussion of laws relating to the Board's mandate; and varied proposals by member agencies to implement the Board's goal of architectural accessibility for the handicapped.
