Mr. President. some Americans in Riverhead. Long Island. N.Y.. are accomplishing the wish of their lives. These people are finally going to own their own homes after many years of wandering over the country. The people I refer to were migrant workers. Now. due to the Suffolk County Opportunity Council. they have been able to settle down In their own homes. Isaac Beamon and William Lenihan. exmigrant workers. have been taught the fundamental skills of carpentry through the adult education classes offered by the Suffolk County Economic Opportunity Council. They are furnishing their own labor to build the houses--which serves. in essence. as the "downpayment." The educational selfhelp program which was so Instrumental in helping Beamon and Lenihan to obtain their first homes is representative of the fine programs being conducted by the Suffolk County Economic Opportunity Council.
