Mr. President. I am very gratified today to take a giant step toward enacting a major reform of the laws protection migrant and seasonal workers. At the outset I must acknowledge the strong and cooperative support of the distinguished ranking member of the commitee. Senator KENNEDY. who joins me in this unanimousconsent request. His participation was vital in developing this legislation and in securing the necessary bipartisan support to pass the bill without objection. I hope that our joint efforts on this measure foreshadows good things for the 98th Congress. as we work to develop the kind of consensus that is indispensable for enacting sound public policy.
