Mr. Chairman. I would like to make some observations about the amendments we are considering which would make certain exceptions to the coverage of this bill for agricultural producers. I have heard a number of arguments in recent days as to why the program envisioned in H.R. 162 would be inappropriate to agricultural production operations and to the migrant and seasonal class of farmworkers. To some extent. I agree with these agruments. having been motivated myself to cosponsor this bill with the more traditional industrial and service workers health in mind. But after struggling with waysto improve the programs at the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] designed to protect farm workers from pesticide exposure.
