If the House of Representatives desires to set up a minimum wage program for our farmworkers of America. then. as I said before. I will support adequate and proper legislation to do that very thing. I am concerned about the plight of a great many of our agricultural workers and of our migrant people. But. certainly. I would plead with my colleagues that this is not the way to do it. What we are actually being asked to do or were asked to do by the action of the other body is to delegate to the executive branch of the Government the right to determine. first. the amount of wage which they should receive. and then to set it as a minimum. I do not believe the Members of the Congress want to legislate in that way. That is the reason I hope this conference report will be adopted and. then. to those of you who are pleading for an improvement in the living conditions and in the wage standards for the migrant workers of our country. I say. let us approach it in a proper way with legislation which will provide for that. but not to give away our own jurisdiction over this subject to some Secretary in the executive branch. Mr.
