The committee has recognized that more than half of the Nations poverty is in rural areas. I am assured that the committee expects that a proportionate share of community action funds and attention will be devoted to poverty In rural areas. The bill extends the other important action programs of the Office of Economic Opportunityalcoholic counseling. drug rehabilitation. family planning. special programs for low income senior citizens. and the special assistance programs for the poorest of the poorthe migrant workers whose plight is sometimes the most talked about and the least done about problems in our country. All of these programs will contribute to rural development and to broadly based balanced national growth. May I repeat.
