Abstract

The United States Senator from Maryland, as speaker at the Awards luncheon of the American Geriatrics Society (Washington meeting), presented his views on priorities in various health programs for the elderly, and asked for the Society's cooperation in making some of the difficult decisions that lie ahead.

A better understanding is needed of the interaction between aging and disease, and the use of preventive measures.
