I missed his early remarks. However. I wish to thank the Senator for his thoughtfulness. because we have discussed the problem of migrant workers together. informally. and on the floor of the Senate. I have been in colloquy with the Senator when he has been critical of the CBS film "Harvest of Shame." On some of those occasions I have not felt it was any responsibility of mine to represent the Columbia Broadcasting System here on the floor of the Senate. I certainly do not feel I have any responsibility or authority to deal with the wisdom of the companys decision to let the film go to England to be used there by the British Broadcasting Co. In reply to the suggestion that the film gives an absolutely false and malicious picture of the condition of migrant workers. I wish to say I have had the opportunity to be in the fields and camps where migrant farmworkers work and where they live in eight or nine States around the country. I feel that part of the film was made during field trips of the subcommittee on migratory labor. I feel that way because I have seen the conditions there shown. and those pictures were accurate pictures.
