     SUMMARIZING INSIGHTS FROM THE AGRICULTURE LABOR WORKING GROUP

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the Agriculture Labor 
Working Group has conducted numerous sessions where we engaged with 
producers, workers, and stakeholders, all to understand the challenges 
they face within the H-2A program.
  As a co-chair of the working group, we released an interim report 
this past week summarizing the various insights from these sessions. 
The witnesses we met with provided recommendations on how they believe 
the program can work better to ensure our growers can continue to feed 
and clothe the American people and beyond.
  I look forward to continuing to work with Co-Chair Crawford and the 
other dedicated members of the working group to craft a final report 
that offers bipartisan solutions to address the issues faced by our 
agriculture community and ensure a stronger and more resilient future 
for all.
