On January 8, 1964 President Johnson declared :"This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America. ..the war against poverty will not be won here in Washington. It must be won in the field.. The program I shall propose will emphasize this cooperative approach to help that one-fifth of all American families with incomes too small to even meet their basic needs. Our chief weapons will be better schools, and better health, and better homes, and better training, and better job opportunities to help more Americans, especially young Americans, escape from squalor and misery and unemployment rolls where other citizens help to carry them...."
