Committee on Migratory Labor
On August 26, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed an Interdepartmental Committee on Migratory Labor consisting of the Secretaries of Labor; Agriculture; Health, Education, and Welfare; Interior; and the Administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Administration.[1] This Committee succeeded the Commission on Migratory Labor appointed by President Harry S. Truman in 1951. The name of the Committee was changed in 1955 to the U.S. President’s Committee on Migratory Labor. In November 1960 the President signed an executive order formally establishing the Committee.
Committee objectives
- To maintain continuing review and assessment of the needs of migrant farm workers and their families.
- To aid the various Federal agencies in mobilizing, stimulating, and coordinating more effective programs and services for migrants and in providing services to States and local areas through their constituent agencies.
- To facilitate and encourage the development of actions designed to promote improved living and working conditions of migratory workers.
- To work with the U.S. State Department and other public and non-public agencies in improving the living and working conditions of migratory workers. To these ends the Committee is empowered to enlist the cooperation of Federal officials, Governors’ Committee, local committees, national civic and church groups, and employer and worker organizations.

gollark: - As eating meat places suffering on millions of innocent animals, I believe animal meat should be replaced with human flesh from donors, as humans are able to meaningfully consent to this while animals are not (and don't get a choice in practice anyway).
gollark: - To increase the efficiency of the education system and encourage self-directed learning, I believe schools should lock children in individual cubicles with textbooks for 5 hours a day instead of using classrooms and teachers.
gollark: [POLITICAL VIEW] is utterly and objectively right, and all who disagree are enemies and will be subject to infinite quantities of bees.
gollark: The answer is 2, with a 150% margin of error.
gollark: It is not. As far as I know, the way it works (roughly) is that when you measure one thing in a pair, you know the other one must be in the other state; no way to transfer data that way unless you can already transfer the same amount of data to the other end.
