Efforts to address this kind of abuse by State adult protective service programs have proved inadequate. my colleague MARY ROSE OAKAR. has been the primary sponsor of legislation to put this program in place and I was pleased to join her in urging the placement of this program in the Older Americans Act. Other provisions that the Select Committee on Aging has promoted and are included in the act are: Under title III. translating services for elders with limited Englishspeaking ability. The eligibility for those individuals. who under the Immigration Reform and Control Act [IRCA] of 1986. where granted resident status to participate in the programs under title V of the act. In the area of housing for the elderly. area agencies on aging will work with nonprofit housing entities to develop access to services within the housing complex. Heighten the distinction and effectiveness of the White House Conference on Aging by bringing both the legislative and the executive branches of Government and private individuals together for the first time in the history of the conference to formulate and establish comprehensive national policies for the older Americans.
