Mr. Speaker. I want to call to the attention of our colleagues a program designed to benefit migrant farmworkers. but which is failing to achieve its objectives. An amendment to the Housing Act of 1949 established in 1961 a program of insured loans at 5 percent interest for farmers. associations of farmers. nonprofit organizations. and States and their subdivisions for the construction or repair of housing for seasonal and migrant farmworkers and their families. In 1965 Congress provided for grants to States and their subdivisions and to nonprofit organizations for up to twothirds of the cost of rental housing for farmworkers. Through June 1971. $32.1 million$17.6 million in loans and $14.5 million in grahtshas been obligated.
