Phillips Memorial Library, Special and Archival Collections 1 Cunningham Square Providence, RI Aime Joseph Forand served as a congressional member from the 1st Congressional District of Rhode Island to the United States House of Representative for twenty-two years, and was an important advocate for senior citizens, the disabled, and the unemployed. Forand s monumental work to provide Social Security and health insurance benefits to the elderly and disabled, culminated in the Forand Bill. This legislation passed in 1965 under the Social Security Act and was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Forand was born May 23, 1895 in Fall River, Massachusetts, to Francois Xavier and Meli-Luce Ruest Forand. After attending public and parochial schools, he studied at the Magnus Commercial School in Providence, Rhode Island, and at Columbia University. In May 1918, Forand went to France as a sergeant, first class, in the Motor Transport Corps of the American Expeditionary Force. In July, 1919 he was honorably discharged from the service. Returning to his home town of Central Falls, Forand became a member of the City Commission in Forand soon became a Charter member of Rhode Island Young Men s Democratic League, and served as the branch s president from 1923 until Forand continued his political career with his election as a Democratic member of the House of Representatives of the Rhode Island General Assembly for two terms, In 1924, Forand also began working as a reporter for the Providence News and News-Tribune, working at the Pawtucket and Woonsocket offices until Aime J. Forand continued to pursue a political future throughout the 1930s. Beginning in 1929 as Secretary to United States Representative Jeremiah E. O Connell, Forand also served in this role to O Connell s successor, Francis B. Condon, from In 1935, Forand took a leading role in promoting the rights and welfare of veterans with his appointment to Chief of the Rhode Island State Division of Soldiers Relief and as Commandant of the Rhode Island Soldier's Home. His political career continued to expand with his 1936 election to the Seventy-Fifth Congress from the 1st Congressional District. Although he lost the 1938 election, he in won his seat back in 1940 and remained in office until retiring in 1961, after the completion of the Eighty-Sixth Congress. It was during this tenure that Forand achieved his most significant and noteworthy accomplishments. Providence College, Phillips Memorial Library, Special and Archival Collections Page 1

5 Staring in 1941, Forand served in a number of prominent roles, including speaker for the Democratic National Congressional Committee (1941), and as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee (1943), Chairman to both the United States House of Representatives Democratic Caucus (1947) and the Board of Visitors to the United States Coast Guard Academy (1948), as well as being named National Chairman of the Senior Citizens-for-Kennedy Committee. Additionally, he received an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree by Providence College (1951). Apart from these many achievements, Forand was instrumental in advocating for the elderly, unemployed and disabled. As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, he championed jobless benefits for federal, state, and municipal employees, and promoted legislation designed to increase Social Security benefits for dependents. These aims were coupled with his sponsorship of tax legislation that would aid persons dependent on charitable and non-profit organizations due to their level of low-income. Aime J. Forand s most important work focused on socialized medicine for senior citizens and disabled persons. Forand proposed that medical insurance be guaranteed to these people, in addition to increasing their Social Security benefits by ten percent. The legislation was first drawn up in 1957 and despite facing opposition, Forand s Ten-Point Bill of Rights for Older Citizens speech to Congress helped with the bill s adoption by Congress in His initial demands for a ten percent increase of Social Security benefits were decreased to seven percent, but the legislation was reintroduced in 1959, and finally passed in In July 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R and H.R 6675, or the Older Americans Act, into law under the Social Security Act. The final version of the legislation provided hospital insurance and an increase in benefits for the elderly and disabled. Although Forand retired from Congress in 1961, he remained active in public service. Forand established, and headed as president, the National Council of Senior Citizens, Inc., (1961), and was also a member of the Advisory Committee on Housing for Senior Citizens, under Hon. Robert C. Weaver the Administrator of Housing and Home Finance. Forand resigned from this post due to ill health in 1963, and retired to Boca Raton, Florida. Forand was honored in 1970 with his induction into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame. After his retirement, Forand remained actively involved in a number of public service organizations, such as the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign War, Elks, and Knights of Columbus. After suffering a heart attack at his retirement home in Florida, Forand passed away on January 18, He was survived by his wife of forty-one years, Gertrude B. Bedard Forand.
