Dear Fellow Texan:
This week the 72-nation Inter-
parliamentary Union Conference
witl be held in Teheran, Iran; I
will be attending this conference
as one of six Senators elected by
the United States Senate as an
official representative. Before
leaving. 1 helped to vote out of
the Senate Labor and Public Wel-
fare Committee a new bill in the
War on Poverty.
Two years ago we fired those
first shots in the War on Poverty,
and some of the first battles have
been won. But this is a long war
actually as old as the human
race—and if we are to make
further progress we must, like
good combat soldiers, learn from
our mistakes and use that know-
ledge to defeat the enemy: starva
tion, want, and disease.
There have been some mistakes
made in this historical attempt
to eradicate poverty in our land
But because of these Federal pro-
grams, despite some beginning
mistakes, there have also been
thousands who have escaped from
the jaws of poverty. There are
many more just starting on the
road to escape and thousands of
others who have been given new
hope in their struggle for sur-
vival, by adult basic education
programs, by Head Start programs
for the young, by the youth con-
servation corps, by the Job
Corps, and by many other
efforts.
Texans must be particularly
concerned with this battle, be-
cause our proud State unfortunate-
ly ranks first in the Nation in the
actual number of poverty-stricken
families. There are 688,000 fami-
lies in Texas who make less than
the government recognized pov-
erty level of $3,000 a year. These
millions of people represented by
these families live in the city
and on the farm, and our efforts
must be aimed in both directions
in order to help them to help
themselves.
That's what people want. They
want an opportunity to help
themselves to build for themselves
a better future. And that's the
virtue and beauty of this poverty
program. It isnot merely a hand-
out; it's a training program to
let people learn to help them-
selves.
One of the neglected areas thus
far has been in the rural areas.
Nearly one-half of all of those
who make low incomes live in
rural areas, but nearly 85 per
