Mr. Chairman. the distinguished gentleman from North Carolina. the chairman of the Committee on Agriculture. succinctly stated the reason for the amendments offered by the gentleman from Rhode Island when he said that. as a matter of fact. under the present program. Mexican nationals. known as braceros. are treated better than domestic migrant labor. That is exactly the situation at which the Fogarty amendment is aimed. I wish to emphasize that the Fogarty amendment does not kill or cripple Public Law 78. Public Law 78 is extended for 2 more years. The Fogarty amendment. however. also clarifies the safeguards of existing law designed to protect domestic migrant labor. These provisions have been recommended by the committee of distinguished Americans who worked for 9 months last year studying the operation of this act. They concluded that these clarifications in the provisions protecting domestic migrant labor were needed to make the bracero program work effectively. Nothing we have heard here today would establish the contrary.
