The Office evaluates programs and services for

assistance to the Maryland Advisory Council for

persons with disabilities. Authorization for the Of-
fice continues until July 1, 2000 (Code State Gov-
ernment Article, secs. 9-1101 through 9-1110).

tee on Employment of People with Disabilities, and
