I intend to oppose the motion. if it is made. that the Senate accept the House version. and to move to take this matter to conference. It is my hope that if a motion to go to conference is rejected. a majority of the Senate will stand by the position which they took last August and refuse even to extend this program for another year. What we have asked for in the way of protection for American migratory workers is well within the limits of reason. It is hard for me to understand why those who are supporting the program seem unwilling to provide that American migrant workers be given at least a minimum of consideration. of decency. and of reason before they seek to have Mexican nationals compete in this area in which competition is most intense and in which the standards of living. working conditions. and wages are the worst of any segment of the American economy.
