I regret that I am compelled to advocate delaying the extension of coverage to agricultural workers not covered by the bill until a thorough study of the feasibility of such coverage has been made. Later in his statement the able Senatcr from Georgia made further reference to the same subject in the following words: As I indicated earlier. the bill does not provide socialsecurity protection for all citizens of the Nation. Some groups. such as share croppers. migrant agricultural labor. and parttime domestic servants. who are not brought under insurance coverage. need protection. I regret that further extension of coverage must await more detailed study of the problems inherent in bringing additional persons within the system. I fully approve the conclusion reached by the Senate Committee on Finance that workers on farms need socialsecurity protection.
