I would like to express to the gentleman the disappointment of many of us who surely hoped. after this length of time. that certain amendments to this legislation would be offered and. at least. accepted by the committee before it was brought to the floor. And I would like to ask the gentleman if it is not true that in the failure to recognize the need for amendments we are not only failing to meet some of the needs of the Mexican migrant workers but also depressing the situation of our own workers within the United States. Does the gentleman feel that the bill is as meaningful as he seems to indicate and that a simple extension. just changing the expiration date. actually meets and cures the situation?
