                                       U.S. Senate,
                                Special Committee on Aging,
                                  Washington, DC, October 22, 2019.
Hon. Mike Pence,
President, U.S. States,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. President: Under authority of Senate Resolution 70 
agreed to on February 27, 2019, I am submitting to you a report 
of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging entitled: Falls 
Prevention: National, State, and Local Solutions to Better 
Support Seniors.
    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 result of these studies and recommendations be reported to 
the Senate annually.
    I am pleased to transmit this report to you.
            Sincerely,
                                          Susan M. Collins,
                                                          Chairman.
