I am most impressed by and concerned with the provision of this bill to pay 90 percent of the costs of pilot or demonstration projects which would provide rehabilitation services for migratory agricultural workers and their famflies. This is an imaginative proposal that seeks to develop new solutions for a complex problem. For some time now I have worked with other Members of the Senate in seeking solutions to the numerous and rather special problems of the estimated 2 million migrant workers in the United States. and I think this provision is a clear example of the creative thinking that is required to help these people. It is estimated that 3.000 to 5.000 disabled migrant workers and members of their families would seek or be referred to vocational rehabilitation services each year if such a program were enacted. I think it imperative that we take the first step today by authorizing these pilot projects. Mr.
