Mr. Speaker. Americas social conscience has been aroused by the tragic consequences of poverty to our own citizens and neighbors. Among those most severely afflicted by poverty in our country are the Spanishspeaking minority groups. The Office of Economic Opportunitys VISTA program has confronted and challenged the conditions of poverty that prevail in so many urban and rural areas of America. and among the Spanish speaking. The Sacramento Bee published an article recently that recounted the effort of VISTA volunteer Robert Ramirez in dealing with Spanishspeaking migrant workers in Florida. Mr. Speaker. I believe VISTA has established itself as a real credit to the OEO.
