Speech #860144413

I call to the attention of the Senate another item from the Washington Post of September 12. entitled "Drop Farm Proposals. Benson Urges Mitchell." The article is a United Press International dispatch which states: Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson said yesterday he had urged Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell to drop or delay proposed new Federal regulations covering wages. housing. and transportation for migrant farmworkers. Benson told a news conference he was opposed to "undue and unnecessary regulation of the farm economy." He made public a letter to Mitchell in which he said the proposed regulations "retain the concept of Federal intervention and administrative control and regimentation that is contrary to the principles of this administration and that is so repugnant to agriculture." Mr. President.
