Determining Mexican labor requirements.-The agricultural areas needing Mexican workers and the number of workers required are determined. Farm labor reports are developed, controlled, and analyzed to evaluate the Mexican labor program. Technical assistance is provided the States in preparation of these reports. 2. Supplying Mexican labor.-Workers are recruited in Mexico and transported to centers in the United States where employers contract for their use. In 1964, 181,801 were contracted.

The purpose of this fund is to finance the Federal and State administrative costs of the employment security programs on a repayable basis from the beginning of the fiscal year until the Federal unemployment tax receipts become available in February of the same fiscal year. During 1964, the fourth year of operations, $239.7 million was advanced to the employment security account and $244.2 million was repaid. The difference of $4.5 million was borrowed to pay for 1963 operations and repaid from tax receipts in 1964. In addition, the balance of the fund is used to finance the program in 1965 until the Federal unemployment tax receipts are received in February 1965. During 1965 about $283.7 million of the fund will be used to finance the program until the Federal unemployment tax receipts are received during February 1965. The fund will be needed until the employment security administration account accumulates a carryover balance 74.98 of $250 million. Earnings are retained to meet future requirements. 77 90 Revenue, Expense and Retained Earnings (in thousands of dollars) 1964 actual Statement of Financial Condition (in thousands of dollars) 1964 actual 293,218 300,653 4,500 297,718 300,653 2,935 3,773 3,800 9,718 12,653 16,426 12,653 16,426 20,226 288,000 288,000 9,718 718 12,653 297,718 300,653 1965 1966 estimate estimate 1965 1966 estimate estimate 10 11 10 70 71 11.1 Total Government equity... merce.. 2.
