Mr. Speaker. the Japanese nationals brought into our country as temporary farm workers under our immigration laws are playing an important role in California agriculture. The Judiciary Committee recently reported on this program and concluded that it was operating satisfactorily and urged a limited expansion of it. The Los Angeles Times of June 23. 1957. carries an interesting article on what the Japanese nationals are doing in the Orange County area. It is important to note. Mr. Speaker. that Japanese nationals cannot be employed in any case where American farm workers are available. they must be paid the prevailing wage in each agricultural community. they do not interfere with the continuation of our Mexican labor program.
