S. 1129. would assure farmers of a reliable. willing. and able farm labor supply. The farmworker. on the other hand. could expect to work for a longer period of the year and to raise his extraordinarily low income.

S. 1129. would curtail the necessity for employing large numbers of cheap foreign labor to harvest our crops. In the eyes of a few members of the farm community who rely heavily upon foreign labor. this consideration continues to override any improvement in the deplorable living and working conditions of U.S. citizen farmworkers.
