Mr. President. although not all migrant camps present such shocking conditions. far too many still do. I know from personal experience that the problems of hunger and malnutrition are particularly acute among migrant families. Yet. Mr. President. existing solutions to Americas hunger problems. designed and administered for a stable population. are largely inapplicable and ineffective for migrants. Because they are constantly on the move. migrants do not have the nongovernmental resources such as local credit or private charity normally provided by a community to its residents. None of the Federal. State. or local public assistance programs are designed to accommodate nonresident instream migrants. Either new programs specifically for migrants must be developed. or existing programs must be restructured to take into account the food needs of this large mobile population. That is why the work of the select committee must continue and unfettered with full funding. ExHIBIT 1
