Senators Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Ken Salazar (D-CO) introduced a resolution (S.Res 666) to recognize the 50th Anniversary of the founding of AARP. Representative George Miller (D-CA) also introduced the resolution (H.Res. 1464) in the House of Representatives.

A statement, from AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond, follows:

“On behalf of AARP’s 40 million members and their families, I want to thank Senators Roberts and Salazar, and Representative Miller for recognizing AARP’s 50th Anniversary. AARP is committed to improving the quality of life for people 50 and over through information, advocacy and service. We strive to serve our members so that they, their children – and future generations – have the financial security and healthcare system they need to live and thrive.

“It is equally important to us that this resolution be offered in a bipartisan fashion. AARP is committed to working with both sides of the aisle in finding solutions to our nation’s crises, and this resolution is a testament to what can be achieved when our leaders put partisanship aside.”
