Since the establishment of the farmworker program under CETA in 1974. the Department of Labor. through Rural America. has administered a nationwide housing assistance program. designed to aid migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families in obtaining decent housing and to improve their living conditions. t The Labor Department is currently - threatening to discontinue its support - for these activities after the current - fiscal year. - In the report that accompanies this t bill. the Appropriations Committee went 1 on record directing the Department of I Labor to continue support for this t unique national program of farmworker r housing assistance. Our actions would in no way increase the overall amount of funding provided under the CETA r rogram. Do you agree that it is important that this program be continued?
