The Agency for International Development has always used excess personal property in its programs. In 1962 a revolving fund was created to provide for more effective use of U.S. Government-owned domestic and foreign excess property by authorizing such property to be 91,352 acquired and rehabilitated in advance of specifically known requirements for country programs. The need for many types of excess property such as tractors, construction and roadbuilding equipment, machinery, and machine tools can be anticipated with a high degree of certainty. Costs include accessorial charges only, i.e., transportation, rehabilitation, storage, and packing, crating, and handling, paid initially from the revolving fund and subsequently charged to the recipient program or government. Proceeds from these charges are deposited to the credit of the 199,072-199,072-199,072-199,072 revolving fund. The law limits the value of domestic excess property which may be held at any one time to $15 million in total original acquisition value. There is no legal limit with respect to the value of foreign excess property which may be held at any one time. No addition to the revolving fund is proposed.

Continued program expansion is forecast in 1966 as demands for excess property mount and arrangements for rehabilitation and storage of this property become fully operational. The 1966 program totals $31 million. The net operating loss in the fund reflects expenditures for transportation, rehabilitation, and storage of property which at the end of the fiscal year have not yet been offset by reimbursement following disposition of the property.

(78 Stat. 508-534; Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1965; authorizing legislation to be proposed.) tions, and private nonprofit agencies, will provide young men and women with more highly specialized vocational training as well as with general educational improvement. Job Corps program levels are estimated as follows: 1964 actual 1965 1966 estimate estimate -200 -500 800,000 1,500,000 -5,000 -1,000 --8,800 -25,200 -35,000 760,000 1,465,000 -500 760,200 1,465,500 430,000 -430,000-585,000 330,000 1,310,000 Reimbursements from employees for quarters and meals furnished (Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1965). The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 inaugurated a determined effort to eliminate the causes of poverty in America. Many new programs were authorized by the act, most of which will be carried out by existing Federal agencies. The act also authorized the Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity to coordinate these new programs and all of the existing Federal programs aiding the poor into a comprehensive program designed to extend the opportunities for education and training, a decent job, and a life of self-respect and dignity to every American citizen. (b) Work training.-Under this activity, which is administered by the Neighborhood Youth Corps in the Department of Labor, youths age 16 through 21 will be enrolled in work and training projects which will provide productive full-time or part-time work experience in State and local public service and nonprofit organizations. The in-school and summer parts of the program will provide jobs for youths who would otherwise have to leave school because of financial reasons, while out-of-school youths will receive work experience, remedial education, counseling, and training in order to increase their employability. The funds estimated, which will be matched by a local contribution of 10% of the cost of the projects, will finance the following program levels: (c) Work study. The work study program, administered by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, provides part-time jobs during the school year Welfare, provides part-time jobs during the school year and full-time summer jobs for youths from low-income families who need such income in order to commence or continue an educational program beyond the high school level. Federal funds are allotted among the States for payment to institutions of higher education to cover the costs of employment on-campus or in public or nonprofit organizations. The payments must be matched at the rate of $1 from institutional or local sources for each $9 of Federal support. It is estimated that approximately 800 colleges will participate in the 1965 program and about 1,000 in 1966, providing assistance to the following numbers of students: The initial appropriation for the "war on poverty" was approved less than 4 months ago. While the public response to the programs has been even greater than anticipated, the assumptions on unit costs and proper balance among the several programs are still estimates with little support from operating experience. Therefore, Fall semester. the final allocation of funds in both 1965 and 1966 may vary from that shown above if experience indicates that a different distribution would utilize the available resources more effectively in the fight against poverty. 1. Youth programs-(a) Job Corps.-The Job Corps is a residential work and training program for young people, age 16 through 21, who are not now equipped for the transition to adult responsibility. Both rural and urban training centers will be operated. 2. Community action program.-The Community Action program provides technical and financial assistance to urban and rural communities to support comprehensive action programs developed by local community action organizations. Community action grants serve to provide for new programs and to augment existing private and public resources by financing up to 90% of the costs of those new programs. Grants may be made to both public and private nonprofit agencies. The programs thus supported will be closely coordinated with other Office of Economic Opportunity programs and with related Federal programs. Remedial reading, literacy courses, job training, employment counseling, housing code improvement and enforcement, homemaker services, workshops, job development, and health services are some of the many activities that can be supported and coordinated within a local antipoverty program.
