Abstract	Outlined are the 1964 fiscal year (FY) program proposed by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare to the Congress to combat mental retardation (MR), and FY 1963 program activities underway. The recommended FY 1964 program is said to reflect an increase of about 75% of the total budget estimated for MR activities for FY 1963. It is noted that FY 1964 activities proposed are in accord with the President's special messages to the Congress and recommendations from the report of the President's Panel on Mental Retardation. Activities for 1963 are listed in terms of research and studies, professional preparation, services by government agencies, construction of facilities, and income maintenance such as public assistance payments to MR persons. Expanded and new activities, authorized by legislation proposed for 1964, are described to include programs such as child welfare research and demonstration projects sponsored by the Children's Bureau, and research in learning processes sponsored by the Office of Education. Described to require enabling legislation are proposals for the following activities: comprehensive action to combat mental retardation; increased maternal, child health, and crippled children's services and research; maternity and infant care; construction of research centers for mental retardation and human development; construction of facilities for MR persons; Vocational Rehabilitation Act amendments for expanded rehabilitation of handicapped persons; education of special education teachers; and special projects to aid urban and rural retarded children. Included is a financial summary of Department of Health, Education, and Welfare agency programs for the 2 years. (MC)
