President. at the present time. the Governor of a State in which a Job Corps Camp is proposed to be established. has the power. under section 109. to prohibit its construction and operation if he believes the burdens created by its operation would outweigh the benefits it might engender. .By the same token. section 209(c) grants the governor a limited veto power over title I. part B. and title II projectsthe work training and community action programs. The amendment I am sending to the desk would confer this same limited veto power on the Governor for title I. B. programs. so that the States chief executive could prohibit the implementation of a migrant assistance pro-. gram within 30 days upon receiving a copy of the grant if he did not believe it would result in an effective weapon for battling the symptoms and causes of poverty among migrant workers. Since 1964. when the Congress inaugurated the war on poverty. the State OEO offices have gained a great deal of technical expertise in the problems causing and perpetuating poverty. They have also become equipped to October 4..1967 deal with the particular problems of their States. and we all know that these problems vary from State to State While the regional OEO offices concentrate on the poverty program over a three-. four-. or fiveState area. we know that the State OEO offices are well acquainted with the entire needs of one specific State. Consequently. it seems to me that the regional and Federal OEO offices ought to look to the State office for the specific requirements. needs and programs that should be generated for that particular State. The necessity of utilizing this knowledge and advice is underscored in a letter I received from Mr. Ralph Gunderson. chief of migrant programs of the California State OEO. and in a telegram from Governor Reagan. The correspondence ably states the problem which exists in my home State due to the overlapping and uncoordinated activities of the State and regional offices. I ask unanimous consent that the letter and the telegram be printed in the RECORD at this point in my remarks.
