LA 1000-67449 HUERTA was the individual who recently travelled to Washington, D.C. to apply for a federal grant for tne NFWA through the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO}. HUERTA made this trip on behalf of CHAVEZ and NFWA. A grant of $267,887.00 was made to the NFWA by the OHO to be used as salaries and training 31 indigent migrant farm workers of Mexican-American ancestry for 60 days so that these trainees could teach other indigent farm workers citizenship, money management, the functions of governmental agencies and how to deal with these agencies. In addition, two of these 31 trainees would suppo sedly be further trained by being sent to an out-of-state college. When this grant was made public, it created more concern on the part of area, than any other single incident that can be recalled at this money will be used, not for its intended purpose, but to further the political beliefs of CHAVEZ -and other "left wing" type groups, such as the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and Congress of Race Equality (CORE), which may attempt to affiliate with NYWA if this grant is actually received. 7 He is not aware of any actual subversive activities on the part of HUERTA other than her association with CHAVEZ.
