SPEAKER 1: In the Senate, there were a number of pieces of legislation that were introduced, [INAUDIBLE] the housing legislation. I don't know if there's a need for that now, because OSHA is going to be taking over most of that, so I don't see a need for that. One is a patterned after the federal Sugar Act, dealing with minimum wages. I, again, really see little need for that. If the growers, as an organization, as they do, continue to pay and continue, in the years ahead, to increase wages for the migrants, there wouldn't be any need for legislation. If they don't, then there will be efforts to renew that sort of legislation.
