The gentleman who is the author of the amendment also referred to the fact that these unowned legal employees of the Legal Services have stirred up and fomented racial strife. Well. let me tell the House in the RECORD that what we found was that these lawyers were heroes. They have stood up to physical assaults. threats to bodily harm. serious bodily harm and injury. to defend the poorest of the poor. the most defenseless individuals we have living in our country. who are the migrant workers who are still in the migrant stream. and particularly in my home State of Texas. I think I ought to know a little bit about it because I was born in Texas and have lived there all along and happen to know that when somebody comes up here and reports that the only help these people. defenseless. voiceless. poor. poverty stricken. living in veritable cardboard shacks. if at all. in Hereford. TX. around Hereford.
