I intended to come to the question of the duties that would be placed upon the border patrol. and I think I shall answer the question of the gentleman from Ohio. So much for the setup of the unified border patrol service. I might say in passing that it is the purpose to increase this service under the tentative plansand they are only tentative. made after very thorough surveys by several of the bureaus of the Governmentto increase the border patrol service to about 2.500 men. which will be approximately 1.000 men in addition to the approximately 1.500 who are now in these two services. I should have said in this connection that the bill provides for the transfer.. upon the order of the President. of the men in these services or any other patrol services to this border patrol service. so that the men in the Immigration Service and in the Customs Service will not lose their status. will not lose their positions. but will become a part of the unified border patrol service.
