The panel, announced Tuesday, will look into the resources available for children in foster care as they approach their 18th birthdays, Blunt wants the committee to create a three-year plan with suggestions for using existing resources and possible legislative action.

Committee members include five members of Blunt's Cabinet, a judge, business leaders, a foster parent and two people who had been in the foster care system.
