Several states suggested that OEO programs become the social development arm of State designated multijurisdictional regional planning agencies. The States seek a greater role with the Federal Government in administration of OEO. More funds should be allocated to the State agency for program development. especially for coordination. training. technical assistance. and special services such as health. legal aid. manpower development. housing and migrant programs. The State should participate in the allocation and approval of funds distributed within the State. OEO should use State and local personnel to administer the program rather than building up OEO employees in the regional and field offices.
