	    PRESIDENT CLINTON NAMES SEVEN TO THE WHITE HOUSE 
	     CONFERENCE ON AGING ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS 

     President Clinton today announced his intent to name seven more
members of the thirty member Advisory Committee for the 1995 White
House Conference on Aging.  This brings the total number of appointed
members to 29.  The Advisory Committee will provide advice for
planning, conducting, and reviewing the Conference as well as
prioritizing the Conference resolutions to be given to Congress and the
President.

     The 1995 White House Conference on Aging will take place May 2-5 at
the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.   It will be the culmination
of over 700 grass- roots events held across the country and will bring
2259 delegates from all 50 states and three territories together to help
craft a national aging policy for the next decade.

     The Advisory Committee, comprised of experts in the field of aging,
is required by the Older Americans Act Amendments of 1992, which
authorizes the White House Conference on Aging.  A list of the newly
named Advisory Committee members follows:

Anita Freedman of New Hampshire is Commissioner of the Portsmouth
Housing Authority and Secretary for the New Hampshire Democratic Party.
