Mr. Chairman. I also want to pay tribute to the great eloquence of those who pointed out the problems with reference to our migrant laborers and the braceros. I am not here. Mr. Chairman. to maintain that this type of labor has been treated perfectly or that they have been given all of the consideration that they perhaps should have been given. But yet let me emphasize again that this program. supervised as it is by the Department of Labor. and the other programs that have to do with the supply of labor for the farms of Americasupervised as they are by the Department of Laborare. in my opinion. programs that our Secretary of Labor will take great pains to see that they do not harm our migrant laborers and the braceros. In Florida. as the gentleman from California mentioned. we do not have the Mexican braceros but we do have the British West Indies laborers. Mr.
