The lowest wage being paid any of these 635 graduates is $1.81 an hour and the highest figure. as far as I know. is $2.85 an hour. So it should be very clear that these young men have moved out of poverty and are contributing to our national growth and effort. Now I want to finish my discussion of the migrant program in the minute or two that I have left. In the 2 years since its enactment. the poverty program has provided over $26 million in grants to States where there are -substantial numbers of migrants. In California. this money has been translated into temporary shelter units during peak harvest seasons. These units are literally putting roofs over the heads of thousands of families who previously lived in the open. on irrigation ditch banks. under bridges and in desert canyons.
