Mr. Speaker. we are naturally preoccupied with the effects of Government programs and we run the danger of forgetting that individuals. charities. and church groups can effectively meet their obligations and problems at the local level. One of the matters which has concerned the Congress and administrative agencies but which cannot be effectively resolved is the correction of conditions facing migrant farmworkers in many parts of the country. On Sunday. August 19. 1962. the Chicago Tribune published a story depicting the efforts of the Reverend Fidel Rodriguez to meet the problems facing children of migrant workers in the Chicago Heights area of my district. I feel that the story is an outstanding example of true Christian charity and is a good lesson in the imaginative leadership and local responsibility that is needed in this field. I insert the article at this point.
