Mr. Chairman. as a member of the committee which considered the regional medical bill. I would like to encourage my colleagues here on the floor of the merit of this legislation. In addition to extending the aid programs for regional medical centers and agricultural migrant workers. the bill takes a fresh approach on the question of care for alcoholic and narcotic addicts. Both the alcohol and narcotic addict provisions of the bill establish existing community mental health centers as action agencies for providing this muchneeded care. I will have to admit that when this proposal was first presented to me.
