Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Older Americans Act Programs, a Rural Perspective: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Federal, State, and Community Services of the Select Committee on Aging, House of Representatives, Ninety-Fifth Congress, First Session
During my service on the select committee the bulk Of the testi mony we have heard and from the hearings in Washington and from field hearin have stressed the needs Of the elderly in, mostly, urban America. Ow, make no mistake about it, there are serious needs which must be met and both the committee and the Congress must take these needs into account as we review programs designed for Older Americans.
But, it has been long evident to me that we weren't getting the story on the needs of the elderly in rural America. This is wh I have been urging the committee to hold an oversight hearing on the Older Americans Act in truly a rural American community; I thought this was an ideal site for such a hearing.
I'm pleased Chairman Pepper as agreed to honor my request and thus we are here today.
