My bill provides for a complete decategorization of programs at the local level. and substitutes a broad. flexible authority which can be used to meet the actual needs of people. At the same time. this bill recognizes that there are special national concerns for particular categories of citizens who have employment problems peculiar to their circumstances. Obvious examples are the American Indians and the Native peoples of Alaska and Hawaii. migrant agricultural workers for whom no single State feels complete responsibility. and persons who are not fluent in the Eng. lish language and who need bilingual instruction and training programs. Similarly. the particular problems of the young workerfor whom unemployment rates are shockingly highand of the middleaged and older workerwhose problems are too often overlookedneed some intense scrutiny at the national level in order to assist local manpower officials to do a more effective job in helping them. Accordingly. part A of title 311 of this bill sets forth a series of national programs for these groups. to be conducted by the Secretary.
