Speech #980106909

Another section of JTPA addresses the needs of dislocated workersthose workers whose former jobs have been permanently lost due to plant closing or technological changes. This amendment would provide additional and necessary funding for what may become the single most important problem facing workers in the next two decades. Finally. this amendment adds funds to programs which meet the needs of special populations such as migrant and seasonal farmworkers and Native Americans. I urge my colleagues to Join me in supporting this amendment. Although this amendment does not completely meet the tremendous need in this country for training and retraining it represents a further step in the right direction.
