I rise in support of S. 2007. the Economic Opportunity Amendments of 1971. I would like to direct my remarks to the bills provisions on legal services. Created in 1964. the Legal Services program has been one of the most effective aspects of the Economic Opportunity Act. For the poor it has helped make the system responsive. Legal services attorneys have won landmark cases. including decisions on migrant labor. welfare regulations. housing codes. and policecommunity relations. In 1971 over 1 million poor Americans will be represented by approximately 2.000 attorneys. Just 2 years ago the caseload was only half as large.
