           The Honorable Thomas F. Eagleton
           Chairman, Subcommittee on the Aging
           Committee on Labor and Public Welfare
           United States Senate

           Dear Mr. Chairman:

                In accordance with the September 30, 1974, request made
o     I'  by you and the Chairmen, Senate Special Committee on Aging;    S So
           and the Select Subcommittee on Education, House Committee on
           Education and Labor, and agreements with your office, we have (i1
      . <  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.
