I understand that the amendment is to sunset. after 2 years. the provision permitting employers to provide a housing allowance. rather than housing. provided there is housing available in the area. I must say that I think that is too short a time. I think migrant labor housing in sufficient quantity is not presently available. It is certainly a heavy issue. We provided in the bill for housing allowances. which would allow growers to pay an allowance so that the workers could rent quarters in town or wherever. The special temporary worker housing is preferable. but it does not exist in adequate amounts at the present time. I see my two colleagues who are vitally concerned about the migrant temporary worker issue. It will take time to build that kind of housing. I agree with the Senator.
