It is strictly analogous to the case of a bridge built across a river between two States. each agree to build their respective approaches and bond for the middle section. It just so happens that is the condition with respect to this particular legislation. The Comptroller General hesitated to approve the use of Federal moneys which are allocated to the States for the building of shelters. turntables. posts. and so forth. incident to the work done by the Customs and Immigration Services at these international bridges. The only difference between this and existing law happens to be that the Federal Government may. under the supervision of the Bureau of Roads. allow the use of moneys allocated to the State for the building of these shelters. turntables. and posts for the Customs and Immigration Services. It has nothing to do with personal facilities. These buildings must be constructed. I think we all realize that the collection of customs and the enforcement of the immigration and naturalization laws are purely Federal functions. yet in the case I have in mind and to which I am referring now. the State has assumed the obligation of building these shelters for the Customs and Immigration Services. This amendment merely removes any question in the Comptroller Generals mind as to whether this money may be used for that purpose. The fact that moneys are used in New York State.
