Mr. Speaker. the bill. S. 3391. would require the Interstate Commerce Commission to establish. for carriers of migrant farmworkers by motor vehicle. reasonable requirements with respect to the comfort of passengers. qualifications and maximum hours of service of operators. and safety of operation and equipment. The bill does not set forth any specific requirements to be observed in the transportation of such workers. but leaves it to the discretion of the Commission to determine such reasonable requirements. The requirements to be fixed by the Commission would apply only in the case of transportation of any migrant worker for a total distance of more than 75 miles. and then only if such transportation is across the boundary line of any State. the District of Columbia. or Territory of the United States or a foreign country. The Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. which considered this legislation. does not believe that it is necessary to regulate such transportation when the distance traveled is 75 miles or less.
