White House Conference on Aging; Recognition of National Pre-
White House Conferences on Aging

AGENCY: White House Conference on Aging, AoA, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice complements the March 17 and April 19, 1994 
Federal Register Notices announcing the White House Conference on 
Aging's (WHCoA's) intent to recognize local programs/events and mini-
conferences as part of its grass roots pre-1995 WHCoA strategy. The 
WHCoA proposes to recognize an additional category of events which is 
national in scope and which will precede the official 1995 WHCoA. 
Recognition implies the WHCoA's acknowledgement of the relevancy of the 
event to the goals of the WHCoA. To qualify for this additional 
category, interested organizations must adhere to the guidelines listed 
below.

ADDRESSES: Letters of intent should be sent to the WHCOA, 501 School 
Street SW., 8th Floor, Washington, DC 20024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Judy Satine, White House Conference on Aging, 202-245-7826. See address 
above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A White House Conference on Aging is 
intended to produce policy recommendations to guide national aging 
policy over the next decade. To further these efforts, the WHCoA 
proposes to recognize National Pre-White House Conferences on Aging 
(National Pre-Conference) to address in detail and to develop 
substantive recommendations for those topics identified as WHCoA agenda 
items.

Guidelines

    In order for an organization to qualify as a National Pre-
Conference, it must have nationwide representation and/or an affiliate 
structure; have a national focus and an impact on national policy; have 
an organizational mission or purpose related to aging and related 
issues; conduct national substantive meetings and propose to conduct 
the National Pre-Conference in conjunction with an annual or regular 
national meeting. The program of the proposed National Pre-Conference 
must be structured to ensure specific discussion on one or more of the 
major topic areas of the White House Conference on Aging as listed in 
the agenda expected to be published in the Federal Register in the fall 
of 1994. Recommendations in each of these topic areas must be the 
specific product of the National Pre-Conference. Organizations are 
encouraged to develop discussion papers which could be presented to the 
participants in these National Pre-Conferences and which may later be 
distributed to the delegates to the 1995 White House Conference on 
Aging. The proposed National Pre-Conference should be held by March 31, 
1995.
    Recognition by the White House Conference on Aging allows the 
organization conducting the event to publicize that the event has been 
recognized by the WHCoA and that it will be listed in the final report 
of the Conference. However, recognition is not meant to imply and does 
not signify that the WHCoA agrees with or endorses the recommendations. 
Interested organizations should submit a letter of intent to the above 
address by August 31, 1994. The letter should include the name, 
address, telephone number and contact person of the organization as 
well as a brief description of the proposed National Pre-Conference 
including the theme and/or title.
Fernando M. Torres-Gil,
Assistant Secretary for Aging.
