Finally. to date. the Department of Defense has yet to provide sound reasons for the closure proposal. I believe Mather AFB makes an enormous contribution to the Air Force and to the United States and thus. should remain open. H.R. 1827 also contains important report language regarding the Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS] and its responsibility for carrying out the provisions of the Special Agricultural Worker Program [SAW]. The language. which I inserted with Senator MARK HATFIELD. reiterates congressional intent regarding the definition of nonfrivolous claims for agricultural workers and was included to help facilitate the entrance of eligible farm workers into the United States under the SAW program. Over the last several weeks. western growers. including many in my congressional district. have faced difficulties in getting a sufficient number of farm workers to harvest their crops.
