Mr. Chairman. as the Representative of Long Island potato growers. and other farmers. I cannot support the position of the gentleman from Rhode Island to eliminate migrant farm labor on Long Island. None of our farmers. nor the Farm Bureau. has contacted me in regard to this bill. However. I am sure that if they realized that Long Island migrant labor would be done away with. that they would have been up in arms. My vote shall be cast for a continuation of the system which allows migrants to work on Long Island during the proper seasons. Failure to permit this will cause our farms to be destroyed.
