Mr. Speaker. I rise to commend President Nixon on his decision to extend $2.5 million in Federal disaster relief to Floridas migrant workers who have been unemployed due to crop failures. Some 15.000 workers are unemployed in Dade and Collier Counties due to a combination of freeze and drought which has ruined tomatoes and other crops. I commend the administrations initiative to provide unemployment compensation for these workers. both because of its unprecedented and humanitarian nature. The fact that this situation does warrant disaster relief because these workers were left without any form of assistance to fall back on points to a glaring deficiency in existing unemployment compensation laws.
