The bill also calls for planning for additional centers. so that this kind of institution and service program may become available within a reasonable distance in all geographical sections of the country. I am informed that plans are underway at present looking to the establishment of similar centers for deafblind children. The President also proposed. in his message on poverty. to establish a special system of grants for providing vocational rehabilitation services to disabled migrant workers and their families. I know the Members of this body are aware of the particularly tragic circumstances under which many of our citizens liv6 today when they make their livelihood as migrant workers. following the seasons and the crops. However. you may not have considered how serious a problem they face when the worker or a member of his family sustains a serious disability on top of his other problems. Under. this bill. the Federal Government would pay 90 percent of the cost of providing vocational rehabilitation services for disabled migratory agricultural workers.
