Fourth. it is a welldocumented fact that the constant migration of farmworkers has a terribly disruptive physical and psychological effect on them. and especially on children. Whenever possible. farm labor housing constructed under present program strengthened by this bill should be suitable for year around living. This Nation must adopt as an overall policy goal the elimination of the need for migrant farm labor in all its misery as it exists today. At least we should adopt a policy to reduce the oversupply of labor. And an interim goal not beyond reasonable implementation is to reduce the need for the farmworker to travel great distances from his permanent home in search of employment. Adequate housing programs should make a positive contribution to a policy of stabilizing the migrant population and encouraging the development of a local farm labor work force. Finally. if the housing constructed will be used only for very short periods of the year by workers. the Farmers Home Administration should allow the loan and grant funds to be used to purchase furnishings such as stoves. refrigerators. beds. bedding and furniture. Presently. only those fixtures which become a permanent part of the realty are allowable.
