Just a moment. Accepting the correction made by the junior Senator from Pennsylvania. I desire to state that all I have said applies to the customs border patrolmen when they were engaged in the enforcement of the customs law only. There has been no suspicion of corruption against them during that time. It is quite immaterial to which of the various departments of the Government this matter is referred. whether it is to immigration. customs. prohibition. Department of Justice. or any other department. the moment prohibition has been brought under their jurisdiction for enforcement. then this slimy serpent of corruption has wormed itself into that department.
