In fact. for the 2 fiscal years during which I was associated with the Department. Congress voted for it more funds than the Presidents budget requested. CIx---393 This Department has grown because .each year Congress assigns it new and challenging tasks. While I served as Secretary. HEW was given responsibility for aid to dependent children of the unemployed. educational television. juvenile delinquency. manpower training. the Cuban refugee program. and expanded programs in radiological health. water pollution. control drug regulations. health research. welfare reforms. and social security benefits. to mention just a few examples. The Department has a proud past. and I predict for it a bright future. It is the Department of the future.
