    Dear Mr. Chairman:                                           - )

         In accordance with the September 30, 1974, request made
  % by you and the Chairmen, Subcommittee on Aging, Senate Com-
    mittee on Labor and Public Welfare; and the Select Subcom-
  4 mittee on Education, House Committee on Education and Labor, if (
    and agreements with your office, we have studied the Limple-
    mentation of the O1der Americans Comprehensive Services
    Amendments of 1973J(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.
