That was also the conclusion of four distinguished men who acted as consultants to the Secretary of Labor in a study of Public Law 78. These men were Edward J. Thye. former U.S. Senator from Minnesota. the Very Reverend Msgr. George G. Higgins. director of the social action department. National Catholic Welfare Conference. Glenn E. Garrett. chairman of the Texas Council on Migrant Labor. and Dr. Rufus B. von Kleinsmid. chancellor of the University of Southern California. They came to the unanimous concluslon that the law has failed in its stated objective of protecting the domestic labor force from the adverse effects of the importation of workers.
