President. there is one point to be made very clear to all my colleagues. In New York City every effort is made by the State and local officials to encourage and to assist each and every citizen to register and vote. In 1956. the city helped establish five literacy test centers primarily to help our large Spanishspeaking population get acquainted with and be able to meet the literacy test requirement. One of our leading community organizations. the Council of Puerto Rican and Spanish American Organizations composed of 50 member groups distributed more than 200.000 folders in Spanish to acquaint citizens with the regulations and encouraging them to qualify to vote. This role is certainly not a new one for the city of New York.
