Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of the amendment offered by the distinguished gentleman from New York . to strike $8.6 million from the budget of the Legal Services Corporation. with the intent that those funds be dropped from the migrant farmworkers program. I have been a consistent supporter of the legal services concept. and have supported the theory and intent of the migrant worker program. However. I regret to say that my constituents have found the differences between theory and practice and between intent and facts to be widely divergent. The President of the Legal Services Corporation recently informed me that. while the various migrant farmworker programs constitute only a small percentage of his budget. they take up a very large percentage of his time. In fact. constituents of mine who have in one way or the other worked on the inner city programs of our local legal services organization have expressed to me a fear that the migrant worker program is giving their other legal services programs a "black eye" and may well jeopardize the entire organization. In my congressional district. MidHudson Legal Services Inc. has a migrant farmworkers program which has aggressively litigated for farmworkers in our region. For several years. I have heard complaints and have received documentation that the pursuit of their goals may be too aggressive and that in fact it has caused vexation and consternation.
