Our hearings had developed the need over the years. Further hearings were not necessary. But a great deal of the work of the subcommittee. its chairman. and members of the subcommittee. went into the process of having incorporated in the Economic Opportunity Act provisions for day care for the youngsters. education for both the youngsters and their parents. a sanitation program. and. in addition. we have followed the progress of the Migrant Health Act. which was enacted 2 years ago. and which. for the first time. has brought about a national program systematically dealing with the heretofore overlooked health problems of migrant farm families who have been excluded from everything that we consider ordinary medical care. postnatal and prenatal care. immunization and all the rest. I have received many telegrams from representatives of organizations who are familiar with our work. Including the executive secretary of the National Advisory Committee on Farm Labor.
