I do not view these changes as the answer to the agricultural labor problem. but I do see them as a way to improve upon the disastrous impact this bill would have on the economy of the Northwest. Passage of this bill in a form which does not provide for an adequate labor supply will not only cripple the fruit industry but hurt related industries such as the timber industry which supplies the packing cartons. the rail and trucking industries. and the various ports which handle export cargo. In conclusion. I Join Members of Congress in agreeing that we need a new immigration policy. and commend the Judiciary Committee and its subcommittee members for their efforts. For my district their answers fit neither the Hispanic community nor the employers. By amendment.
