New House committee on aging
If adopted, this resolution would create a Permanent Select Committee on Aging in the House of Representatives. The committee would not have legislative jurisdiction. It would conduct ongoing studies of problems older Americans face, including income, poverty, housing, health (including medical research), welfare, employment, education, recreation, and long-term care. It would study ways to encourage public and private programs, push for better coordination of government and private programs, and review recommendations from the President and the White House Conference on Aging. Any real benefits for seniors and caregivers would come later if Congress acts on the committee's recommendations.
