What I am saying is that what we found out from the American people in every sector is that we have had a crisis condition for some time while an administration is in power that has captivated not only the means of communication but the forging of policy on the congressional level with a total obliviousness of this condition of crisis. It has now reached the point. after the hearings we had in December on an emergency basis right here in the Capital where you do not have to go to Bombay or to Calcutta to see people dying because of exposure to the vicissitudes. to the climate. or lack of food. We have that right now right here in our own country. not counting the abysmal conditions that still exist as if this were 60 or 50 years ago. and I personally can remember in my own home State the conditions among the socalled migrant workers or the farmworkers. I believe that where the leaders will not lead the people will push. But what concerns me very much is the manner and shape and form in which the people eventually will push because people are people whether they are in America. whether they are south of the border. or whether they are north of the border. or whether they are in India. or whether they are in Africa.
