On the recordJanuary 22, 1997
Well, let me say--here's what I think they believe. Right now we're increasing the retirement eligibility age to 67. So when you say ``increase,'' there are two ways you can do it. You can bump it up to 68 or 69, but it's happening over a period of very many years. Or you can accelerate, you can move it up instead of 1 month a year, you can move it up 2 months a year or 3 months a year, something like that, and accelerate that coming on. I think what we need to do is get together in some sort of bipartisan fashion--either a bipartisan representation of Congress with the affected groups or a commission, but a commission that would have a very short timespan. Because last year, you know, Senator Kerrey and Senator Danforth looked at a number of these things, explored a number of these options, so we have their work. Mr. Hunt. You're talking about an entitlement commission, not just a Medicare commission?
