It is what I would be asking the Senate to do if I moved my amendment on this bill. which I could do iust as well as Senator BOREN. but which I have. of course. not done because I feel it prouer that we get the facts. and that is what Senator NELSON proposes to do. The Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act is an important statuteindeed the only statuteregulating the activities of those who uze or sunplv mig.rant workers for seasonal agricultural employment. The history of abuses to which migrant farm laborers have been subiected. the unhealthy conditions in which they have been forced to live and the intolerable conditions under which they have had to work led Congress to enact this law in 1964. and to amend it in 1974. The amendments offered by the Senator from Oklahoma purport to deal with certain problems in the administration and enforcement of the act. I agree there is a need to be addressed.
