Mr. Chairman. I support the migrant health program as strongly as anyone. and I certainly understand the need to provide services for these people. In fact. I am asking for an increased authorization for migrant health. I feel that present efforts to improve health conditions In this area should be continued and should be improved wherever possible. I am concerned that present language in H.R. 4925 may limit the migrant health program by establishing a new program. I understand the intent of the language to offer coverage to nonmigratory seasonal workers. I feel there is no need to be more specific than the present provisions of the Public Health Service sections are at the present time. Through language presently in title IV of this bill. we may be offering coverage. through migrant health centers. to individuals who already enjoy sufficient coverage. Nonmigratory seasonal workers or local residents. however. live quite near the areas in which they work. They may include the high school student. the college student. the housewife. and others who choose to work part time in agriculture.
