Mr. Speaker. today I am introducing. by request. the administrations recent proposals to replace the Farm Labor Contractor Registration Act with the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act. The negotiations which led up to the administrations proposals were long and at times frustrating. Representatives from all sides had serious concerns with the existing law that they felt needed to be addressed. Agricultural producers have long labored under the uncertainty of the 1974 FLCRA. In the past 10 years growers and producers have faced extensive private litigation and enforcement actions by the Department of Labor. We have attempted to establish certainty during these long negotiations.
