Mr. President. our task forces second goal was to explore innovative solutions and programs that could help functionally illiterate persons overcome their handicap. We saw an effort in which undergraduate college students are given credit for going to jails. innercity schools. migrant camps. and so forth. and teaching simply educational skills 6 hours per week. public libraries with innovative. structured programs to increase literacy and may I say parenthetically. Mr. President. that our Nations libraries and the fine librarians who run them are an invaluable resource that we take for granted far too often. we visited a reading workshop where both youngsters and adults are taught phonetically in an exciting. fun program.
