General Information on Social Security
Statement by AARP CEO William D. Novelli in Response to the Death of Rep. Robert T. Matsui
News Release
January 5, 2005
We deeply regret the passing of Rep. Robert Matsui, a strong and knowledgeable legislator and a great American. Rep. Matsui was a champion for those bypassed by the American dream—the disabled and the victims of poverty, disease, discrimination. Americans age 50+ have lost a great friend, Congress has lost a strong voice and Social Security has lost an invaluable advocate for its fiscal soundness.
We offer our sympathy to his family in their sorrow.
