Mr. President. at present only an estimated onefourth of the total migrant population has access to Migrant Health Act project services. There is. therefore. an urgent need for increased Federal appropriations if we are to provide for the expansion of present project services to provide adequate coverage for the migrant worker and his family. Such expansion will add to the value of diagnostic service now offered and will make possible the funding of new projects where they are needed now. An increased number of health projects. both in homebase areas and in communities along the migrant stream. are needed so that the migrant family will have the opportunity for uninterrupted clinical service.
