Another very important point is the emphasis in the committee report that the incomeeligibility requirements for OEO programs should not adversely affect the rehabilitation process for lowincome addicts and drug abusers. As the committee report states at page 19: While the total rehabilitation process may realistically require two to three years of outpatient counselling and followup support to prevent recidivism (or to intervene very early if the client begins to return to drug use). a successful program is in fact designed to enable the client to be gainfully employed before the end of the first year. thus rendering him ineligible by virtue of income to continue to receive services that are necessary to his long term success. Another commendatory step taken by the Education and Labor Committee is section 10 of H.R. 10351. which broadens the authority to provide for assisting the migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the attainment of selfsufficiency and wellbeing by "participating in available Government employment or training programs." The words "employment or" are new. they open up increased opportunity for a segment of our population which has been consistently victimized. Part B of title V of the Economic Opportunity Act. as amended. authorizes a day care program. This program has never been implemented.
