President. I simply want to echo what the Senator from Florida has just said. Nothing in this provision which has been added to this resolution would in any way prevent the Secretary of Labor and the Federal officials from properly protecting the rights of migrant farm workers. We are very interested in seeing that done. I thnk all of us sincerely want to see that done. But we do not want to have the farmers themselves. who were exempted from this actcertainly the intent of Congress again and again has been expressed that farmers should be exempted from this particular actwe do not want to see those people harassed under a misapplication through an abuse of regulatory power by the Department of Labor of the law itself. Now. the Senate earlier this year. as Senator CHILES has said. by a substantial margin. a margin of 20 votes. with over 40 Members of this Senate acting as cosponsors of the act. voted to prohibit the Department of Labor from misusing its regulatory authority in this way. I think if Members of the Senate would stop to realize what has been done under a law aimed at stopping abuse by crew leaders and migrant labor contractors and they would realize what had been done under the guise of preventing the abuse by these people. I think they would. without a doubt. support the language that now exists in the resolution written into it by Senator CHILES and adopted by the committee by a 2 to 1 margin. The Secretary of Labor has. in essence. said that anyone is a farm labor contractor who is engaged in farming and who has even one employee. The Secretary of Labor has gone on to say that a farm labor contractor. a person who acts as a contractor. has a crew leader and employs migrant workers. includes any farmer with one employee who has an employee engaged in agriculture. Not only is he defining a farm labor contractor as any old farmer. in essence. he has also said that a migratory worker is anyone who works in agriculture. Mr.
