Their health problems become those of the communities which they visit. and they work and live on a temporary basis in nearly onethird of the counties of America. In Florida some $269.851 were received last year under this program for operations of these facilities. In Palm Beach County. where a large number of these workers come each year to work in a variety of crops. mobile health centers have been made possible under this program. and just this season alone covering from November 1 through last week. almost 1.400 calls were made by migrant workers in need of care. In 1964. the Palm Beach County Health Department administered 1.328 immunizations to migrant workers. This is but one example of the great number of counties and communities assisted under the programs contained in this extension. I urge the membership to again recognize the merits of this legislation and approve these existing provisions by extending them.
