Mr. President. I read an excerpt from Mr. Scatenas letter: We do not foresee the availability of workers in numbers sufficient to harvest our cucumbers. peppers. tomatoes. et cetera. that will require stoop labor. Until today we have had 500 Mexican immigrants and 481 Japanese nationals cutting asparagus. June 25th was the last day for this supplemental labor force here in San Joaquin County. They have been taken away. I have reports from the Salinas area. reporting that 6 A teams have already left. The boys have left for home. Let me point out from Mr. Scatenas report the observation that the present domestic workers are producing only about 56 percent of the output of experienced able workers.
