Maine. as a member of the Council on Aging. Over the course of the past decade. the work of the Council has been instrumental in making both the Government and the American people more aware of the special needs of our older population. and more aware of the shortcomings that exist in programs and policies designed to serve them. An ongoing demographic change in our Nation. now becoming known as the greying of America. will present a challenge to our society by the end of this century which will be as vast in scope as the challenge of absorbing the millions of migrants who flooded our shores at the beginning of this century. The Council on Aging bears the primary responsibility of focusing on the implications of that demographic change. and it has the unique responsibility within the Federal Government of informing the President. the Secretary of Health and Human Services. and the Congress of the policy changes that must be made to respond to that change. Those responsibilities will be heavier in the coming years. and I cannot think of an individual whose special expertise and experience will bring more to the Council than Jamie Broder.
