    Appointment for the Federal Council on the Aging
    November 15, 1993

        The President announced today that he will appoint four new members
    to the Federal Council on the Aging, a 15-member panel that advises and
    assists the President on matters relating to the special needs of older
    Americans. The President appoints one-third of the Council's members,
    three of whom must be more than 60 years of age.

        ``The senior citizen community, our parents and grandparents, is one
    of our great resources,'' said the President. ``It is important that we
    ensure that Government policies are helpful to them and that we make
    sure to seek their wisdom as we decide on those policies.''

        The members appointed today are Alice B. Bulos, William B. Cashin,
    Olivia P. Maynard, and Myrtle B. Pickering.

    Note: Biographies of the appointees were made available by the Office of
    the Press Secretary.
