Such matching will take the form of making available services. facilities. and equipment. Past experience with similar Federal grants indicates that such programs stimulate nonFederal expenditures considerably in excess of the Federal grants. Other types of health activities which would be undertaken include visits by public health nurses to migrant labor camps. sanitary inspection of camps. worksites. and temporary rest stops to assure the maintenance of adequate sanitary facilities including safe and adequate water supplies. and the exchange of information between health workers in different areas to assure the availability of needed health services and to eliminate unnecessary duplication. Experience has demonstrated that serious communicable diseases which afflict many of the migrant workers and their families threaten residents in the permanent communities where migrant agricultural workers and their families stop over in pursuit of their work. Thus. the legislation is designed to meet not only the needs of the migrant workers themselves. but also the needs of the States and local communities in which these laborers work and through which they pass in pursuit of such work. Our committee has been unanimous in favoring the adoption of this legislation and I trust that the House will overwhelmingly support the conclusion of the committee that this legislation is necessary.
