As tragic as the plight of rural and small town America is. the impact of rural outmigration has equally serious implications for urban America. Our largest cities are becoming unlivable as well as ungovernable. They are unable to deal with their own population increases which are generated internally. not to speak of the rural migrants who come to the city uneducated and illprepared for urban living. Mr. President. the TalmadgeDole amendment would put Congress squarely on record as being aware of the problem of rural outmigration and It would state a commitment of the Congress to do something about this problem.
