Speaker. I thank the gentleman for yielding me time. and I rise in support of the compromise version of H.R. 1715. a bill that addresses the Supreme Court decision in the Adams Fruit case. The bill as originally introduced would have prohibited farmworkers from both receiving workers compensation and suing in court for violations under MSPA [the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act]. The compromise bill we are considering today would achieve that purpose. while at the same time providing some needed safeguards for farmworkers and some deterrence to wouldbe violators. I offered in committee an amendment to strengthen the deterrence in the bill by addressing egregious violations of the law. and I am satisfied that the essence of my amendment was incorporated in the compromise version of this bill.
