SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As the Baby Boom generation approaches 
retirement age, it is essential that we evaluate and develop any needed 
policies to ensure that this national resource remains a vital part of 
society. The 2005 White House Conference on Aging (WHCoA) is seeking 
input from a wide array of stakeholders as we develop an overarching 
agenda and plan for the 2005 WHCoA. For example, how can we enable both 
``rising'' seniors and mature seniors to continue actively 
participating in and contributing to personal, community and national 
well-being? Looking forward over the next decade and beyond, how can 
we, as individuals, businesses, private organizations, and Government, 
in partnership, better harness the vast potential that exists within an 
aging America.

Josefina G. Carbonell,
Assistant Secretary for Aging.
