President. I will tell you another result. There have been a series of documentaries on televisionand I have seen some of them recentlywhich point out that abuses are still going on in this country. very serious abuses of the rights of migrant farm workers. that there are still operating in this country unscrupulous farm labor contractors who are taking migrant workers around the country. keeping them in absolutely appalling conditions. not informing them of their rights and. in essence. almost holding them in peonage. According to one of the documentaries I happened to see myself. the official said that it is not a problem with the law on the books. it is a problem of not having the resources. the people. the personnel. the inspectors necessary to go out and keep track of these unscrupulous farmers or contractors and crew chiefs and catch them in the act of violating the rights which this Congress has written into law. Do you know why. Mr. President. we do not have the Department of Labor channeling and targeting the resources where they need to be targeted to stop the kind of abuses that many of us saw documented on television? It is because they have people sitting down in offices writing ridiculous rules and regulatiorns with which to harass the average farmer in this country. who is not involved as a farm labor contractor and who is not a migrant worker crew chief. If the farmers of this countrv got uP in arms over being harassed by this kind of ridiculous regulation. I can only say that I think they would have every right to do so and that they would have every right to hold every Member of this Congress who voted to allow that kind of situation. and that kind of abuse of regulatory authority to continue accountable for the serious conditions. accountable for the harassment of people who should not be harassed. and accountable for a continued violation of the rights of migrant workers that we ought to be protecting. Mr. President. essentially what wie have here in the modification offered by the Senator from New Jersey is an attempt to continue in the lawnot in the law. because it is not in the law. it is in the regulations issued by the Department of Labor. It is the way they misapply the regulations and the manner in which they misapply their own resources in the Department. We have an attempt here to continue the maladministration of a program. an important program to put in place for the protection of migrant agricultural workers in this country. I commend my colleague from Florida. Senator CHILES. for including this language in the continuing resolution.
