Named to head the campaign, Project FIND, was Dr. Arthur S. Fleming, chairman of White House Conference on Aging and former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. Mrs. Nixon will be of Project FIND with Dr. Flemming. Dr. Fleming said that this effort by the federal government to locate Ameriacns eligible for the federal food programs either food stamps or commodities, is the Presidents response to the nutritional needs of the older Americans recommended by the delegates to last Decembers White House Conference on Agan ing. The nutritional problems of the elderly are complex and defy easy solutions. An imaginative and creative joint public and private effort, such as Project Find promises to be an effective mean of meeting those needs," Flemming said. Four government agencies and the American Red Cross are participating in the program which includes a direct mail effort to over 27 million men and women, 22.5 million of whom are over 60, a public service advertising and public information campaign, and the recruitment of up to 50,000 volunteers to locate and assist persons eligible for Federal Food Assistance Programs. Eligibility for Federal Food Assistance is contingent upon income, assets and family size. The Project Find volunteers, in addition to trying to locate persons who may be eligible, will assist these individuals in contacting local public assistance officials who certify eligibility for federal food programs. This nationwide search will be accomplished through unique cooperative effort of government and private agencies: ACTION, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Economic Opportunity, Social Security Administration, and the American Red Cross. The Department of Agriculture administers Federal Food Assistance through food stamps or the commodity programs in nearly 3100 counties and other jurisdictions in the United States. The Social Security Administration will communicate the objective of Project FIND to all receipients of Social Security and Medicare in a mailing received by 27 million persons on August 3. new. given away daily.
