among the Spanish-speaking community in Maryland and four other interested citizens. The Commission is to evaluate present programs and services as these relate to the Spanish-speaking population of Maryland, and for planning new programs to meet the needs of these people. COOPERATIVE AREA MANPOWER PLANNING SYSTEM (CAMPS) Maryland Manpower Planning Council Chairman: Rita C. Davidson William J. Collins, Executive Secretary 1100 N. Eutaw Street, Baltimore 21201 Telephone: 383-6551 The need for a system of cooperative manpower planning to assist the poor and disadvantaged gave rise to CAMPS in early 1967. Fed- eral agencies consisting of the Departments of Labor, Commerce, Agriculture, Interior, Housing and Urban Development, Health, Edu- cation and Welfare, plus the Office of Economic Opportunity, the Civil Service Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency joined together to achieve systemized planning of manpower and man- power related services. Under Presidential Executive Order Number 11422 of August 1968, coordinated action under CAMPS became official Government policy. By an Executive Order in October 1970, the Gov- ernor established cooperative planning and coordination of manpower training and supportive manpower service programs as an essential policy of the State government. Under the State Manpower Planning Council, sub-councils are or- ganized within each of the State's seven Regional Planning Districts. Council membership is designed to cover as broad a spectrum of the public as possible, drawing its members from State agency personnel, the business/labor sector and from among the poor and disadvantaged client sector. These councils develop plans for their areas that link Federal programs and local action in an effort to concentrate man- power forces against poverty. The functions of the councils are to advise the Governor on the State's manpower needs and priorities as defined in the plans emanat- ing- from the local areas. These plans serve as the basis for identifying the needs and priorities which must be alleviated by Federal programs designed to eliminate poverty, provide training and jobs, and to break the cycle of poverty which engulfs a large segment of the population.
