Mr. President. in 1958 50.000 acres of broomcorn were planted in Texas. whereas in 1967 there were only about 20.000. The harvesting of this broomcorn provides jobs for thousands of migrant workers for which they make between $40 and $50 a day. as compared with $7 or $8 in other jobs on which they might work. I wish to take this opportunity to suggest that the effect of the importation of broomcorn be included In the study that would be authorized under S. 2664. I feel certain that most would agree that it would be in order to grant this request.
