My district extends for a considerable distance along the Canadian border. and it is only fair that the people affected have a chance to know what Government bureaus plan to do. I will oppose any move to work additional hardships on people who cross the border on legitimate business enterprises. There has already been much complaint directed at the customs. Immigration. and borderpatrol regulations. to the effect that they needlessly interfere with people who have lawful business taking them back and forth across the international" line. Further. the tourist business in my section of the country is to be considered. . Just why Government bureaus do not consult Members of Congress whose districts are vitally affected by their red tape is something I can not understand.
