In that debate the Senate was evenly divided. as the Senator will recall. The controlling vote was cast by the distinguished Vice President. which made a total vote. as I recall. cf 46 to 45. Shortly after that action. and after the amendment sponsored by the senior Senator from Florida and by my distinguished colleague the junior Senator from Florida . and the distinguished Senator from California . had been omitted from the farm bill then pending. by the vote of the Vice President. we had heard that there would be included in the immigration bill a provision relating to the same subject and applying in a different way. of course. from that which was pursued by our amendment. The senior Senator from Florida inquired at once of the committee and the committee staff and found that. just as his friend has now stated. no such provision was included in the bill. It had been agreed in the committee that the bill should make no reference to nonimmigrant farm labor.
