Senator KUCHEL and myself. we should include. together with the provisions for an agricultural minimum wage. provisions bearing upon agricultural child labor. In fact. the committee report Itself recognizes that a great deal more must be done. for it states. on page 10. that the committee "does intend to study further the employment of children in agriculture to determine what further protection is needed." But there simply is no need for further study. Far from itfor we are fast approaching the point where the povertystricken and oppressed migrant farmworkers of this country will no longer accept "another study." Arthur Goldberg testified in 1963. when he was Secretary of Labor: We have had enough studies of the problem of migratory labor in this country. At least we have had enough studies with respect to the matters which are the subject of legislation being considered by this committee. And the Secretary specifically endorsed this very same child labor proposal as "long overdue." I would also remind the Senator from Texas that. in his home State. there is also growing a strong feeling that this legislation has already had more than its share of hearings and studies.
