Long Anti Poverty War Looms Johnson Tells U S
In fall 1964 antipoverty forces mobilized as the Office of Economic Opportunity faced reality. Johnson warned of a long war to create real opportunities, with 9.3 million low income families and 35 million people under $3,000 yearly. By June 30, 1965 OEC obligated 790 million but spent only 195 million. Job Corps, Vista, and community action programs lagged but Head Start and Neighborhood Youth Corps were praised as successes.
