As Governor of the State of Washington. I had many occasions to attempt to better the conditions of those who worked in the perishable commodities industry. We worked hard and with some considerable success at improving the housing. the sanitation. and the availability of workmens compensation to those migrant workers. both American and aliens. guestworkers. who came to help harvest Washingtons crops. I visited those camps on a number of occasions and have for many years visited. talked with. and I think understand something of the problems of our orchardists. most of whom. as pointed out by my colleagues. are small farmers. small businessmen. My colleague from Massachusetts suggested that somehow this would have the effect of throwing American workers out of an opportunity to have a job. that it would be an amendment that would in the worst interest of unemployed American workers.
