Mr. President. with regard to the socalled WIC amendment that related to the outreach program for migrant workers. this is one that I hope very much the Senate would reject. We have withdrawn the yeas and nays on that. but I hope the Senate would see fit to oppose that amendment. I think it is very important that our migrant workers be aware of the benefits that they are eligible for. What the committee is attempting to do in this section of the bill that this amendment would strike is to see that there is some kind of an outreach program in all States with a migrant population. I urge Senators to reject this amendment relating to the WIC program and the outreach for migrant workers.
