PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Program emphasis in fiscal year 1970 continued to be placed upon registration activities and achieving greater compliance by crew leaders with the provisions of the Farm Labor Crew Leader Registration Act. However, due to the economic slowdown during 1970 and the resultant increase in unemployed workers seeking temporary employment in agriculture, the total number of crew leaders registered in calendar year 1970 was less than the previous year (3,000 in 1969; 2,842 in 1970). Compliance Activities in 1970 increased greatly over the previous year, (1969-600, 1970-900) due to a more judicial use of field men. It is estimated that the total number of crew leaders registering in 1971 will be about 3,000. The total number of field investigations will be increased by about 10 percent.
