Excerpt from Lower Mississippi Delta Development Act (H. R. 4373): Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Economic Stabilization of the Committee on Banking, Finance, and Urban Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, Second Session, on H. R. 4373 I believe the Government does have a responsibility to in fact deal with areas that sometimes slip through the cracks in economic indicators. I know this is true of my own State of Ohio. Our unem ployment rate, for example, went down considerably under the new aggressive leadership of my Governor, Dick Celeste. The fact is there are pockets of our State that are very, very, very much in need of a kind of targeted comprehensive program. They fall through the cracks because they don't look as poor as they really are. That is why I was very anxious, when Congress man Espy came to me and asked for this hearing, as a prelude to trying to mark up the bill.
