The question was raised of whether insurance would be available. The House amendment allows the Secretary of Labor to wdive the maximum insurance requirements if the insurance is not as equally accessible to crew leaders as it is to common carriers. There has been some opposition to the provision requiring a crew leader to refrain from recruitment of illegal aliens. However. the present act allows the Secretary of Labor to refuse to issue or revoke a crew leaders license if he finds such contractor has recruited or employed the services of a person with knowledge that such person is violating the provisions of the immigration and nationality laws of the United States. The provision we are adopting also makes It an obligation of the contractor to refrain from recruiting or employing. with knowledge. the service of an alien not lawfully admitted or who has not been authorized by the Attorney General to accept employment. Admittedly. this provision will be difficult to enforce. admittedly. this provision at the present does not apply to employers other than crew leaders. However. there is legislation passed by the House which would cover all employers equally. and our hearings made us aware that there are numerous "illegal aliens" working in the fields. Furthermore. I am Informed that the Judiciary Committee has no objections to this provision.
