of cooperation and coordination among Federal and State agencies to provide delivery of
services in health, education and social services.

migrant groups and will work to identify present and future resources at the Federal,
State and local levels which may be used to affect migrant problems.
He charged the office with monitoring all new Federal legislation and funding source:
which might be used to develop new programs of positive impact on migrants, ald where
necessary, with establishing the mechanism to apply for such funds.
The Migrant Affairs Office may also offer assistance for the delivery of services
and help avoid duplication.
The Migrant Fuel Allocation Plan will permit the migrant workers to obt(j.in
gasoline at designated truck stops in the State as they move northward during the
agricultural season.
Governor Briscoe said arrangements have been lnade with the owners of 51 truck
stops along seven major migratory route s through Texas where service
w~ll
be available.
Most of these stations will be open 2.4 hours. a day, seven days a week beginning immediately
Records of the f:flsoline used by the migrants will be kept and the stations will
receive special gasoline allocations to supply the farmworkers.

Pointing out the impact migrants have on the state and national economy, Governor
Briscoe said the nation stands to
lose over $500 million in the gross national product
if all of the Texas migrants and seasonal farmworkers are forced to remain at home this
7ear.
He added that the migrants bring approximately $100 million annually back into the
State as earned income.
The Migrant Fuel Allocation Plan was developed at the Governor's instruction by a
special task force comprised of representatives from the following agencies: State Fuel
Allocation Office, Good Neighbor Commission, Greater South Texas Cultural Basin
Project, Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, Migrant Referral Project, National Migrant
Information Clearinghouse, Office of Early Childhood Development, and Juarez-Lincoln
Center.
