I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman. the one problem with the amendment that my friend from Virginia has not discussed Is that it eliminates the requirement to provide workers with free housing. The H2A employers must provide or pay for housing for their workers. This amendment replaces the housing provision with a housing allowance but. quote. only if housing is reasonably available in the area of employment. end quote. I find that restrictive. onerous and another sop to the growers. who probably would rejoice in having us revisit this measure as we did in 1986.
