Mr. Chairman. the gentleman from Texas offered an identical amendment when this matter was considered in the last Congress and it was overwhelmingly defeated. The concept of contract labor and the bracero program has been discredited as far as I am concerned. This is certainly not the place to consider a contract labor program. I would say affirmatively that the subcommittee is actively studying the labor certification problem. We do feel there are substantial problems in the administration of labor certification by the Labor Department. These hearings are going on right now in connection with our Western Hemisphere preference study. which will be the next major legislation coming out of our committee.
