I call his attention to the reprint from the document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor under the title "Farm Labor Market Developments." under which it appears that the largest number of migrant domestic workers In agriculture in any part of the year covered by that compilation. which was the 12month period November 1959 through October 1960. was 293.000 and not 2 million. and that appears in the last column of the compilation taken from the Department of Labors report on this subject. More than a million seasonal farmworkers are shown to have served in the months of largest employment. which I think would fairly reflect the 2 million or more total farmworkers and their families. But as the Senator will observe. the larger portion of them were not migrants. the larger portion were settled people. and the two columns that might come under the head of "Migrants" are. first. the column of domestic migrants. which is the last column in the compilation from which I have just read the figure. and migrants who are not domestic workers. which would include both Mexicans and offshore laborers. and some from Canada. I believe. along the Canadian border. which are included in the second column. So the Senator from Florida is simply trying to deal with complete accuracy. if he can. and to invite his friend to explore from the same point of view the bulletin listing and compiling the numbers of farmworkers throughout the year from November 1. 1959. through October 31. 1960. and breaking them down into the various classifications. of which only the domestic migrants and the nondomestic migrants are the actual workers who would come within the group covered by the present discussion. if the Senator from Florida correctly understands the situation.
