President. the Federal Energy Office last month promulgated regulations assuring the agricultural industry a 100percent priority in the allocation of bulk fuel. While this action is critically important for the Nations farmers and consumers. nonetheless it falls a step short of the action needed to assure a stable food supply during the current energy crisis. I strongly believe that the Federal Energy Office should provide a means of supplying the gasoline necessary for the transportation of the Nations migrant workers to harvest sites. if the American farmer Is to have a sufficient labor supply to harvest his crops this year. According to the Department of Agriculture. over 14.000 migrant workers traveled to northern farm States last year from homebase areas in California. Texas. and Florida. Many farmers in northern States are vitally dependent upon migrant workers as part of the labor supply. Minnesota. for example. uses over 8.000 migrant workers annually. the State of Michigan uses over 83.000. The State of Ohio uses over 32.000. New York 30.000. and Illinois 20.000.
