May I say that I am proud to have stood with the President and voted to send this historic bill through the Congress. The U.S. Government has been. engaged in a special effort to upgrade the status. health. pay. and education of the migrant farmworkerat least a million of whom are MexicanAmericans. Two few people care deeply about the plight of the farmworker. But Lyndon Johnson. his administration and this Congress care. This year the Office of Economic Opportunity is devoting over $25 million alone to antipoverty programs for the migrant worker. We are enforcing new minimum wage regulations which directly affect the economic future of the MexicanAmerican. And it was the 89th CongressI am proud to saywhich for the first time in our history brought farmworkers under the national minimum wage and hour act.
