Mr. Speaker. the conference report presently before the House provides a 3year extension of the existing program under which :-ealth services are provided for domestic agricultural migrant workers. Both the House and Senate versions of the legislation contain the same level of funding. so that the report is identical to the bill as it passed the House in this regard. The House bill also provided coverage under project grants for a limited number of seasonal agricultural workers. where providing health services to these persons would improve health conditions of migrants themselves. The conference agreement is identical to the House bill in this regard. The Senate bill also contains an amendment providing for community participation in the development of programs.
