A second program contained in the bill is set forth in title II. consisting of a 2year extension of the current program of grants for provision of health services for domestic agricultural migratory workers. Under this program. approximately 300.000 domestic agricultural migratory workers and their dependents received services for at least part of 1967. The program helped to finance over 200.000 medical visits and 24.000 dental visits. 125.000 visits were made by nurses to migrant camps and 125.000 visits were made by project sanitarians to inspect their work sites. Domestic agricultural migratory workers are among the neediest groups in the United States insofar as concerns health services. however. the counties where they reside temporarily while engaged in agricultural labor in many cases find their health resources severely overtaxed. The health services provided under this program are necessary in order to meet the serious needs of this group of American citizens.
