You'll find that paper (The Case for ASL as a Truly Foreign Language) in:

Multicultural aspects of sociolinguistics in deaf community / Ceil Lucas,
editor.  Washington, D.C. : Gallaudet University Press, 1996.   The
 sociolinguistics in deaf communities series ; vol. 2
 ISBN:  1-563-68046-7  ISSN:    1080-5494

Interesting enough, if you ask me.
