President. I wholeheartedly support Senate Resolution 68. sponsored by Senator McGOVERN. which would provide funds for continuing the investigation of hunger and malnutrition in the United States. In addition to the many important reasons for full funding set forth by my colleagues. another reason for immediate action in this area is to relieve the hunger and malnutrition problems of the migrant farmworker and his family. My knowledge of the special problems faced by migrants is based on my 10 years experience as chairman of the Migratory Labor Subcommittee. The subcommittee conducted numerous field trips. investigations. hearings. and onsite visitations that all indelibly marked on my mind the singular fact that migrants and their families are underfed and malnourished. On one trip to my own home State of New Jersey. within sight of the towers of Princeton University. we saw a migrant labor camp with parents and children suffering from hunger and malnutrition. And. although I am certain that considerable improvement has been made in New Jersey. I would welcome the possibility of the Hunger Committee coming to New Jersey to investigate precisely what the situation is today. That continued investigation of hunger problems of migrants is imperative was made clear in an article appearing just yesterday in the New York Times. Mr. President.
