As the first chairman of that subcommittee. I shall never forget the great difficulty involved in securing the vital legislation which would assure justice and dignity to those who travel the face of this Nation to harvest our agricultural products. For 10 years we attempted to focus on the migrants problems. and proposed solutions for both the short and long run. Many new laws and programs were enactedminimum wage. and child labor coverage. crew leader registration. and funds for health care. education. housing. and day care. Yet the painful fact is that these farmworkers are still excluded from the benefits of so much of our legislative programs.
