Document Excerpt
As a further step to address the current financial crisis, we request that you take immediate action to help senior citizens preserve their retirement investments. Specifically, we request that you suspend the required minimum distribution (RMD) and the tax penalty for retirement account holders who are 70 years or older who might not want to withdraw from their retirement accounts during the current financial crisis.
