                         Letter of Transmittal

                                                      U.S. Senate,


                                   Special Committee on Aging,

                                             Washington, DC, 1997.
     Hon. Albert A. Gore, Jr.,
     President, U.S. Senate,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. President: Under authority of Senate Resolution 
     73, agreed to February 13, 1995, I am submitting to you the 
     annual report of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, 
     Developments in Aging: 1996, volume 1.
       Senate Resolution 4, the Committee Systems Reorganization 
     Amendments of 1977, authorizes the Special Committee on Aging 
     ``to conduct a continuing study of any and all matters 
     pertaining to problems and opportunities of older people, 
     including but not limited to, problems and opportunities of 
     maintaining health, of assuring adequate income, of finding 
     employment, of engaging in productive and rewarding activity, 
     of securing proper housing and, when necessary, of obtaining 
     care and assistance.'' Senate Resolution 4 also requires that 
     the results of these studies and recommendations be reported 
     to the Senate annually.
       This report describes actions taken during 1996 by the 
     Congress, the administration, and the U.S. Senate Special 
     Committee on Aging, which are significant to our Nation's 
     older citizens. It also summarizes and analyzes the Federal 
     policies and programs that are of the most continuing 
     importance for older persons and their families.
       On behalf of the members of the committee and its staff, I 
     am pleased to transmit this report to you.
           Sincerely,
     Charles E. Grassley, Chairman.
                                                                    ____

       By Mr. GRASSLEY, from the Special Committee on Aging: 
     Special Report entitled ``Developments In Aging: 1996, Volume 
     1'' (Rept. No. 105-36).
