I thinkwith representatives of agricultural growers. Not only did we have growers. but also. we had the definitions of produce within the growers ranks: berries. strawberries. onions. citrus. broccoli. We got down to some pretty thin slices of the vegetable kingdom with regard to whom we heard from as agricultural growers: labor unions. including activist labor. even uncertified unions. migrant worker groups. the Department of Labor. the Department of Agriculture. and others. This was done to put together the H2 provisions in the bill. which is a delicate balance to protect the U.S. worker and to provide sufficient workers to meet U.S. agricultural labor needs. In our experience. the bracero programsand Senator SyMMs and I discussed that this morningand the European experience are bringing more problems than benefits often associated with such foreign worker programs.
