The amendment should be defeated. We might as well not have a bill if this amendment is adopted. Either we have a Federal law or we do not. The reason a national law is needed is because States and localities will not act. This amendment would pretty near nullify the bill. If we are for the bill in principle. this amendment should be voted down. Migrant farm labor is one of the few remaining really exploited groups in America and minimum legislation of this sort is badly needed. Employers are not going to suffer under this bill. and it ought to be enacted.
