Background
- Scope and content:
-
The White House Conference on Aging was convened at the behest of President Richard M. Nixon as a follow-up to a similar conference held in the waning days of the Eisenhower Administration. The objective of the Conference was to provide a forum for representatives of older Americans throughout the country to discuss and propose solutions to the unique problems facing the elderly in this country. The Conference, directed and organized by the Commissioner on Aging John B. Martin, was preceded by a series of forums, hearings, meetings and additional White House Conference at the State and local levels. The conclusions of the Conference were to be translated into a plan of action to be implemented during the succeeding year. Dr. Arthur S. Flemming was chosen to chair the Conference. Other persons mentioned in the files include Americans both young and old, chosen to participate in the event. Members of the Nixon Administration are rarely named in this collection. This collection contains primarily printed and released materials, both in form of press releases, pamphlets, minutes and reports. No inter-office or personal correspondence is included. The first portion of the collection, which pertains primarily to the pre-Conference, Conference, and post-Conference period is arranged chronologically. The succeeding half of the collection which contains booklets and pamphlets is arranged alphabetically by folder title.
