Show VISTA Celebrates Anniversary President Lyndon B. Johnson sent the first 20 VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) volunteers to their dirty stations on December 19, 1964, and alrout six months later the first VISTA project was operating In Utah. Now, as VISTA celebrates its 15th anniversary. there are 45 VlSTAs serving' on 10 projects. VISTA was bora in 1963 when the U.S. Senate passed a bill establishing the agency, but the House of Representatives refused to go along with the action and VISTA was killed until the middle of 1964 when the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 was passed and VISTA became the feature element of Johnson's "War on Poverty." VISTA involvement in Utah began in early 1965 when one of the 10 original training centers was established at the University of Utah. The training center specialized in preparing volunteers for service on Indian reservations, and in the first 18 months about 400 volunteers were placed on reservations around the country, including the Crow, Sioux, Chippewa, Apache, Navajo, Kootenai, Seminole, and DLR. Edward Moe was the center's first director. Ute-Oura- Utah's first VISTA proReject was the servation near Duchesne.
