Mr. President. the Senate Subcommittee on Migratory Labor visited California last month. bringing to eight the number of States in which the subcommittee has conducted field trips or hearings. In California. as in the other States. we were impressed with the difficulties faced by all those concerned with the education of the children of migrant farm laborers. We found new evidence of the need for well planned Federal help to those educators who so often have only a few busy weeks to work with the migrant youngsters. We received much testimony indicating that local officials favor the kind of approach offered in bills I have introduced to improve the educational opportunities not only for the children but for the migrant adults too. The visit also indicated. I believe. the need for comparison of educational opportunities among States.
