A great deal of this discussion has dealt with Public Law 78 as distinguished from Public Law 414. which is still the law which guides us. Public Law 78 was the responsibility of the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry as a legislative matter. Public Law 414 Is an immigration law. and was the responsibility of the Committee on the Judiciary. I am on neither of those committees. However. I am on a committee which does have a very substantial interest in this entire discussion. the Migratory Labor Subcommittee of the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare. Our responsibility runs to the American agricultural migrant worker. Anything which affects his position is within the scope and responsibility of the subcommittee of which I have the honor to be chairman. I have examined the unemployment statistics generally and farm unemployment statistics in particular.
