Madam President. there has been considerable discussion over the past few months of the plight of migrant farmworkers. It is my impression that. although many people are vitally concerned about this subject. there is a serious lack of accurate information about the earnings of migrant workers and the conditions under which they are employed. New York State has taken a number of significant forward steps to protect and register migrant farmworkers. This action has served as a model for other States and for the Federal Government. For example. the migrant farm crew leader registration bill which I introduced last year with Senator JAvIrS was was based upon New Yorks crew leader registration requirements. I am a cosponsor this year of a similar bill to register migrant farm crew leaders and labor contractors. In 1959. the New York State Department of Labor made another major innovation consistent with the States longstanding concern about the problems and needs of migrant farmworkers. The department launched a careful and intensive investigation into the conditions of migrant farmworkers throughout the State. The results of this study are very significant. especially in light of the growing national concern about this problem. Madam President. I ask unanimous consent that an article which appeared in New York State Department of Labor Industrial Bulletin for February 1961 on the departments investigation into the conditions of migrant farmworkers be printed at this point in the RECORD in order that those interested in this problem will have an opportunity to review and study a summary of this very useful and excellent document.
