DRAFT -- DRAFT 20 June 1995 MEMORANDUM FOR: LEON PANETTA HAROLD ICKES ERSKINE BOWLES CC: Mark Gearan Pat Griffin Doug Sosnik FROM: Alexis Herman, Kitty Higgins, Carol Rasco RE: Follow up to WHCoA/Working with Seniors Community We write to outline a potential strategy for working with the seniors community. This outreach will be vital in the next year, and the coming months provide good opportunities to build on the goodwill and communication established during the White House Conference on Aging and meetings on Republican Medicare cuts. This outreach obviously takes on a little different flavor, but no less importance, given the recent budget announcement. This strategy includes: Developing senior message in coordination with ongoing budget activities; Establishing a group and process to develop and monitor strategy (our offices as core); Identifying events for Administration participation, including the President, other principals, and Cabinet officials (Anniversaries of Medicare, Social Security. and Older Americans Act as first priorities): Working with Scheduling. Communications. Congressional, etc. to coordinate and develop these events; Sending Presidential letters to events in which the Administration cannot participate; and Through expanded mailing list at OPL, maintaining close communication with friends in the seniors community. Attached is a calendar of key opportunities for outreach in four areas: 1) Anniversaries of the Social Security Act, Medicare, and the Older Americans Act; 2) Official follow-up events to the White House Conference on Aging; and 3) Other Activities, including AoA and Summer Conferences. We would appreciate your assistance in highlighting select events and any input you might have.
