Over 1.360.000 3-. 4-. and 5yearold children have enrolled in Headstart classes. and again from my own experiences in observing what is going on in my own district. this. in itself. is an inspiring development. More than 1 million teenagers have been provided with jobs through Neighborhood Youth Corps centers. Most of you know in terms of my career in the House of Representatives I have had a longtime interest in the problems of the migrants. and if I contribute nothing else to this debate. I want to tell you something about what is happening concerning the migrant under the -poverty program. A littlenoticed. but most important aspect of the war on poverty. is the assistance to migrant farm workers provided by title IIIB of this act. This is the first time that the United States has had a national program directed specifically at migrants. and it is sorely needed. As Noel H. Klores. the Director of OEOs migrant workeis program. has pointed out. the problem of migrant workers is virtually the same today as it was when John Steinbeck wrote his famous "Grapes of Wrath" in 1939. Migrant workers are the poorest of the poor. in spite of what we are doing in this day and in this period. They do not vote and no one represents them. Their children commonly do not go to schoolthey work alongside their parents in the fields.
