Perhaps we did not go quite far enough with this legislation. but at least we kept the programs alive and moving. Although I would have preferred a higher level of funding. these are not the times to cling doggedly to spending programs. These four bills extend. and in some cases. improve our Federal programs in the areas of mental health. migrant worker health. public health training and medical library assistance. S. 2523. the mental health bill. not only extends existing programs. but takes steps toward dealing with the mental problems that are magnified by the excessive use of alcohol and drug addiction. It is only humane that we increase our efforts to deal with these problems that are hidden within the fibers of our societyyet real and increasing in scope.
