Mr. President. in the wide range of problems facing migratory farmworkers and their families. the problem of adequate housing is one of the most critical. While migrant families move from one area to another during the harvest seasons for fruits. vegetables. and cotton. they are often housed during their short stays in each area in units that are totally inadequateinadequate whether viewed In terms of living space. in terms of running water. sanitary facilities and drainage. or in terms of insulation against cold weather or ventilation and screening in hot weather. A few weeks ago at hearings before the Subcommittee on Migratory Labor. a witness who was himself a migrant worker described for the subcommittee the housing conditions he met with on the road: They are filthy. they are no good. People. especially when they work in the cabbage fields. have the rain and cool weather. It Is kind of cool.
