![["A group of Senators have filed a resolution to extend the life of a committee investigating hunger in the United States, as scattered accounts indicate a need for action. Dr. Arnold E. Schaefer's testimony revealed instances of hunger, malnutrition, and starvation in low-income areas. The government must explore the extent of undernourishment at home and make more food available to those in need. Some policies have perpetuated scarcity to keep farm prices high, while programs like the school lunch program have been influenced by national agricultural policy. The National Sharecroppers Fund recommends a reorientation of farm and food assistance programs to support smaller farmers and provide food for the hungry. Further investigation and change are needed to address the issue of hunger in America."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_8.12_9_53_0000-National%20Advisory%20Committee%20on%20Farm%20Labor,%201960-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_8.12_9_53_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Reminder of Joint NSF-NACFL Committee meeting to discuss activities, finances.")
![["The New York Times article from February 24, 1969 discusses the impact of the nation's agricultural policies on the poor, highlighting the reemergence of nutritional diseases and mental retardation due to dietary deficiencies. While there have been some positive developments such as increased funding for investigations and plans to provide free food stamps in certain areas, there are still distressing aspects of the problem. The article criticizes the disproportionate spending on farm income stabilization programs compared to programs aiding the poor, as well as the refusal of the Agriculture Department to provide food or food stamps to the hungry in California. The article calls on Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin to take action to address the widespread hunger in America."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_8.12_9_53_0000-National%20Advisory%20Committee%20on%20Farm%20Labor,%201960-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_8.12_9_53_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Senators seek to extend committee investigating hunger due to need for action.")
![["The Cheyenne-Arapahoes business committee met with the Department of Labor to discuss Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) funding. Questionable management reports were filed, leading to an agreement to receive funds quarterly and submit financial statements within 90 days. If not done, the grant would be relinquished.
