I am aware of that. and I agree with the gentleman that it is a wrong economy. I regret that part of the reduction. although I approve the action of the House in that bill in regard to the border patrol. Fort Huachuca is the only military post along this extensive stretch of international border from El Paso to the Pacific Ocean. Regardless of how friendly or how unfriendly the Republic of Mexico is. or might be. a powerful foe attacking us would undoubtedly attempt to do so through Mexico. Not only do we have great industrial plants. such as smelters and the like. right near the border. but we have great public works. such as the Boulder Dam. within easy striking distance from the international line between the State of Arizona and the State of Sonora.
