We. and the 28 other Senators who have cosponsored this measure. are gratified that we have been able to contribute to this national debate. Mr. President. last week two witnesses before the Presidential Commission on Urban Problems joined the growing number of urban experts in arguing that the slowing down or actual reversal of the flow of rural migrants to the urban areas would constitute a major and valuable new approach to dealing with the crisis of the cities. Mr. President. I ask unanimous consent that there be printed in the RECORD at this point a column by Dorothy Wood appearing in the Wichita Eagle of September 2. 1967. which reviews various editorial comments from around the country on the subject of slowing the rural migration. and the editorial appearing in todays Washington Post entitled "Rural Migrants."
