Mr. Speaker. 1 full day spent as a member of the Agricultural Labor Subcommittee making an Inthefield investigation of the typhoid outbreak at a south Dade County migrant labor camp underlined the issue that this country need not and must not tolerate an economy based on human degradation and suffering. The typhoid outbreak. with 91 cases already confirmed. was to the observer but a headlinegrabbing symptom of the human misery that these farm laborers find themselves entrapped in. These are the work ethic people. so dear to the present administration. who are struggling to provide for their families. Lack of an equitable minimum wage. abominable working conditions. virtually no unemployment insurance nor workmens compensation. high rents. exorbitant utilities costs. and exploitation from crew chiefs make life a terrible hardship for these people.
