Mr. Speaker. the gentleman from Illinois has always made a fine statement. but I want to inform the gentleman he does not know anything about the conditions of the migrant people who have drifted from the Dust Bowls. or he would not have made the statement that he did. If the people who have gone to California from the Dust Bowl are maintained in the Dust Bowl with a little more expense than is authorized in this amendment. $500.000. it would be much cheaper for the Federal Government than to spend $350.000 or $400.000 for each migrant camp which they are now building in California to care for these people. They spend as much as $15.000 for one water unit and sewer disposal in these migrant camps. I hope the gentlemans amendment is adopted.
