But the Senator will perceive that only a small portion of this appropriation is devoted to border patrol. If an considerable portion of it were occasioned by that. there might be some reason for the Senators position. Only $500.000 is for the border patrol and $4.000.000 plus is for the otlicials. I am. of course. referring to the appropriation carried in the general act for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1926. which aggregated more than $5.000.000. Mr. President. I know that when the last appropriation bill was under consideration the larger appropriation carried in the bill to which I have just called attention was defended upon the ground that inany employees were needed along the border. and there are no more along tile border.
