We are dealing here with the problem of farmworkers and these farmworkers are excluded from every piece of social and economic legislation in our Nation. with the exception of social security. And. believe me. Ive been through many States and I have yet to see social security withholding on the average migrant farmworker. So here. to. in fact as a practical matter he is excluded. So. as underdogs. and if you are opposed to legislation you have certainly had your way but I would like to deal first of all with some of the legislation that we propose and I think we should get your view on it. One of the hardest problems we have seen is the failure of communities toto make possible education for the youngster who is there for a few weeks or maybe a month or two. We know that the young people of migrant farmers are falling every year farther and farther behind their age groups. We have a report from Time magazine that. in August. out of 8.000 youngsters only 600 had gotten an education while they were in Colorado. In response to this. a real. real problem. we have legislation that would provide Federal assistance to communities that try to welcome these youngsters into their school systems while they are therea 75percent grant of the operating costs. that scales down to 50 percent.
