Still. five counties are not served by these projects and in terms of personal and environmental health care. we have only begun to make progress. The enactment of this legislation represents a necessary response to what is clearly a national problem. The increased expenditure authorizations will enable us to assure continuity. expand present efforts. and avoid what Miss Solis called the piecemeal grant periods that have characterized the migrant health services and which have made State and local participation and planning difficult. Again. I am pleased by the action the Senate has taken in passing this important bill. I am convinced that the expanded program will help us respond to the health needs of the migrant workers whose contribution to our national economy is so great.
