Mr. Speaker. as the result of a television program sponsored A238 late last year by the Columbia Broadcasting Co. called "Harvest of Shame." a great deal of public attention has been focused on migrant farmworkers. There are many people who believe that this program did not represent a balanced picture of the true situation of migrant workers. and did not give sufficient recognition to the progress which is being made by the industry in coping with the various problems of these workers. Unfortunately. I was unable to see "Harvest of Shame" when it was presented by CBS. I have. however. made personal visits to the migrant worker camps in my own congressional district In New York. and I have toured the plants and fields in which the migrant workers are employed. On the whole I have been favorably impressed by what I have seen of conditions in New York State. Mr.
