I want to stress how important it is to me that this issue be acted on next year. It should be the subject to intensive hearings. as it touches upon some rather complex domestic and international issues. If further regulation of farmers and agricultural producers is needed to protect migrant workers. then it should be done carefully and deliberately. not in the rush of legislation before a lameduck Congress anxious to adjourn. I must confess that I was extremely disappointed that the promised hearings on S. 2789 and S. 2875 on August 19. 1980. before the Labor and Human Resources Committee were not held. I believe. and I am certain that the rest of my colleagues will agree with me. that had that hearing taken place this issue would not be before us today.
