Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to establish a Permanent Select Committee on Aging.

Permanent Select Committee on Aging. This resolution would create a permanent House committee called the Permanent Select Committee on Aging to focus on issues facing older Americans. The committee would be added as clause 12 to Rule X and would not have legislative jurisdiction. It would conduct a continuing, comprehensive study of older Americans' problems including income, poverty, housing, health and medical research, welfare, employment, education, recreation, and long-term care. The committee would also push for public and private program development, work on policies to coordinate government and private efforts, and review recommendations from the President and the White House Conference on Aging.
