I would like to point out to my colleagues an area of poverty and distress. of low income and high unemployment. of low educational achievement and of a low standard of livingan area as depressed and in as great a need of Federal assistance as Appalachia. I refer to the Southwest in general. and to south Texas in particular. We have all heard of the plight of the migrant farm laborer. Well. most of them live in the Southwest except for the time when they are able to get temporary employment elsewhere. Many migrant workers live in my own district. These people need help and there are provisions in the Economic Opportunity Act designed to assist them. Hopefully. the war on poverty will come to this part of the battlefield.
