I wish to say again that the two governments are in virtual agreement at this time. If they reach a satisfactory agreement. unilateral action will not be necessary. and the situation will be as it was last year. Of course. in the event the two Governments are unable to reach a satisfactory agreement. and there is no provision for unilateral screening of the migrant labor from south of the border. we shall simply have labor contractors going into the field. and there is a feeling that the screening will not be as thorough as it would be if the Federal Government had a part in the program. I understand the Mexican Government is now showing a real willingness to reach an agreement. and. in all probability. the program will be worked out between the two Governments within the next 10 days. The Department of Labor feels that the amendment to the law should be enacted so that in the event another impasse is reached. the recruitment of Mexican labor will not be turned over to private contractors and we will not be running the risk of getting more undesirable migrant labor.
