In short. these established community action and other programs are offering a variety of services. thus providing economic opportunity not before known to the urban and rural poor. I would like to take a moment to talk about the successful Headstart program. in particular. It has assisted more than 1.4 million children from city ghettos. migrant labor camps. rural areas. and Indian reservations. I am pleased the average length of the program has been increased. The Headstart program has not only helped the very young. but it has given an opportunity to parents from poverty environments to share in their childrens development.
