It is true that the practice of recruiting and dealing with migrant labor has. to some extent. passed from the roving crew leader to the stationary crew leader who might be an employee. If he were a permanent employee. the Williams provision leaves him just where he is. but if he is a temporary employee then he can easily duck in under this particular provision which we find in the continuing resolution and be completely out of the whole deal.
