Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of this amendment. This is but a very small first step. but yet it is a moral obligation. It deals with human dignity. Perhaps the largest concentration of the socalled migrant or seasonal workers live in my congressional district. They are my friends. they are my neighbors. and I know most of them. What we do here. in all honesty. really does not address the issue in its entirety because what we do here will not encompass the great laborintensive fruit and vegetable area. but it is a first step. It is a first step. and we should not send the word out that "We have done it for you." We still have a ways to go.
