Mr. President. I am indeed happy to note that the chairman of the committee has indicated that he will take this amendment to conference. I am certainly in full support of the amendment. because it will improve the conditions of migrant workers. It is high time that our Department of Labor has a specific appropriation and program for this purpose. Illiteracy. ill health. child labor. poverty. community neglect. and hostility are the lot of thousands of American farm workers families. How can democracy function under such conditions as these? They could be the very breeding grounds upon which communism might feed at home as well as abroad.
