Senator MORSE introduce a bill. S. 3046. to strengthen and improve programs of assistance for our elementary and secondary schools. This bill. which is currently pending before the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare. will. when enacted. increase the educational opportunities available to migrant children by permitting payments to State educational agencies for establishing programs especially suited to the migrants needs. In addition. during the past year the Office of Economic Opportunity has initiated 25 different migrant daycare programs for preschool and young schoolage children. Last year these programs served approximately 25.000 children meeting one of the most pressing needs of the migrant family7the care of young children while the parent is at work in the fields. Enactment of child labor legislation will be a valuable adjunct to Federal. State. local. and voluntary efforts to implement this legislation.
