I know that several of the members of the Subcommittee on Alcoholism and Narcotics feel that this would be appropriate. and we are considering an amendment at a later time. Also in the area of health services. I am pleased to note that the committee increased funds for the migrant health program. This is a relatively modest program through which the health needs of many of our migrant agricultural workers are met. At present. however. less than onethird of the migrants have access to these programs of health care. Recognizing the need for increased funding Congress amended the Public Health Service Act this year to authorize the appropriation of $20 million for fiscal year 1971. Nevertheless. the administration requested only $15 millionthe same amount as was appropriated last year.
