D.C. 20548 B-1654.30 JUN 18 1975 The Honorable John Brademas (( Chairman, Select Education Subcommittee Education and Labor Committee House of Representatives 1 Dear Mr. Chairman: In accordance with the September 30, 1974, request made % by you and the Chairmen, Senate Special Committee on Aging; and the Subcommittee on Aging, Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, and agreements with your office, we have t fil' ' studied the implementation of the Older Americans Comprehen- sive Services Amendments of 1973 (Public Law 93-29). We interviewed officials of the 28 area agencies on aging, 17 State agencies on aging, and 9 Department of Health, Education, and Welfare regional offices listed in enclosure I. During these interviews we filled out questionnaires developed in cooperation with your office. We interviewed also represen- tatives of selected area agency grantees, local governments, councils of government, and review agencies established in ac- cordance with Office of Management and Budget Circular A-95. Our study emphasized (1) identification of problems experi- enced by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's Office of Human Development Regional Program Directors on Aging and State and local officials in implementing the Comprehen- sive Service Amendments and (2) obtaining their assessments of the programs established under the amendments. Although we have not fully evaluated all the data, this is a brief interim report responding to your office's informa- tion needs during consideration of amendments to the Older Americans Act. We will continue to evaluate and summarize the responses to our questionnaires and will provide you with a final report. In addition, only 15 of the 17 States we vis- ited are discussed in this report because the information con- cerning 2 States' programs has just been obtained and not yet evaluated. However, we will discuss their programs in our final-report. BACKGROUND The Older Americans Act of 1965 (Public Law 89-73) pro- vided services and programs for older persons through three
