My understandingand I think the understanding of most of the Senatorsis that the act was intended to register crew leaders in order that abusive crew leader practices could be stopped. That was certainly my understanding when I voted for the 1974 amendments. after specifically asking the floor manager of the bill who would be covered. I remember. as I think most Senators do that there were some great abuses in the area of migrant labor. Some of those abuses may well be continuing with people who are crew leaders. with those persons who hire migrant workers and take them from one agricultural endeavor to another. These people were certainly abusing the migrant workers. and we wanted to put a stop to that. I certainly did. and I supported the 1974 amendments. But at that time we asked specifically what is the Labor Department going to do with this authority.
