I submit to you this analysis: One provision of this proposed amendmentsubsection (C) on page 2. lines 11 to 15 of the McGovern bill H.R. 11211is so drastic and far reaching in its effect that it. alone. is sufficient reason for defeating this amendment. No legislative provision as important and complicated as this amendment is should be adopted without the most exhaustive consideration by the appropriate committee of the House. by the executive agency involved. and by the industry which will be affected thereby. The provision I refer to could put out of business every small fruit and vegetable grower In the United States who depends upon Mexican or other migrant labor to harvest his crops. The provision reads: Such workers shall be supplied * * only if the Secretary certifies that * * * (C) reasonable efforts have been made to attract domestic workers for such employment. including independent and direct recruitment by the employer requesting foreign workers. at terms and condition of employment comparable to those offered to foreign workers. Taken in conjunction with the report of the Presidents consultantsand this amendment is stated to be a legislative expression of the recommendations of those consultants--this provision means that if one employer in an area is successful in recruiting seasonal workers by "independent and direct recruitment" no other farmers in the area will be permitted to employ Mexican workers unless they. too. undertake this same kind of "independent and direct recruitment." This means that if a big corporate farming enterprise advertises in the newspaper in Detroit or West Virginia and is able to meet its labor requirements by an extensive and expensive advertising and recruiting campaign. and perhaps by bringing the workers to California or Texas in a chartered airplane. no other farmer in the area will be eligible to have any Mexican workers referred to him unless he has undertaken the same kind of recruitment program.
