Speech #970159369

Mr. Speaker. back in September of 1981 when I introduced the "Farmworker Bill of Rights Act." I claimed that there has been little improvement in the plight of our Nations migrant farmworkers since the publication of "The Grapes of Wrath" 45 years ago or the airing of "Harvest of Shame" on television in Despite attempts by growers and grower organizations to ridicule my assertion. and despite wellmeaning but underfunded or underenforced Government programs. I believe that the living and working conditions of migrant farmworkers remain a national disgrace. Recently. Ms. Georgia Dale. publications coordinator for the Association of Parmworker opportunity programs. visited the Rio Grand Valley.
