Department of Labor for interstate agricultural workers recruited through its employment security facilities. This program provides that before an agricultural employer may use State employment security agencies in planning for the interstate recruitment of workers. he must first furnish housing that is hygenic and adequate to the climatic conditions of the area of employment. can reasonably accommodate the workers sought. and will not endanger the lives. health. or safety of the workers. The State of Michigan has also adopted strong regulations on migrant housing. While the increased enforcement activity under these regulations has served the worthy purpose of eliminating units which should not have been occupied in the first place. an increasing number of wellintentioned Michigan farmers are faced with the crisis of not having an adequate number of units for migrants. And for economic reasons. they have not replaced condened housing. The migrant and his family are the ones who all too often end up sleeping on the side of the road. in tents or in cars. I join in submitting this bill today because I am committed to finding solutions to this pressing problem. It is my sincere hope that Federal funds will soon be made available to alleviate the crisis.
