Findings and purposes (a) 1965 FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.— (1) FINDINGS.—Congress finds and declares that the Appalachian region of the United States, while abundant in natural resources and rich in potential, lags behind the rest of the Nation in its economic growth and that its people have not shared properly in the Na- tion’s prosperity. The region’s uneven past de- velopment, with its historical reliance on a few basic industries and a marginal agri- culture, has failed to provide the economic base that is a vital prerequisite for vigorous, self-sustaining growth. State and local govern- ments and the people of the region understand their problems and have been working, and will continue to work, purposefully toward their solution. Congress recognizes the com- prehensive report of the President’s Appa- lachian Regional Commission documenting these findings and concludes that regionwide development is feasible, desirable, and ur- gently needed. (2) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this sub- title to assist the region in meeting its special problems, to promote its economic develop- ment, and to establish a framework for joint federal and state efforts toward providing the basic facilities essential to its growth and at- tacking its common problems and meeting its common needs on a coordinated and concerted regional basis. The public investments made in the region under this subtitle shall be con- centrated in areas where there is a significant potential for future growth and where the ex- pected return on public dollars invested will be the greatest. States will be responsible for recommending local and state projects within their borders that will receive assistance under this subtitle. As the region obtains the needed physical and transportation facilities and develops its human resources, Congress expects that the region will generate a diversi-
