Tex.. have never claimed that that would be an answer to our immediate and emergent problem. The truth is that there is already authorization for the International Boundary Commission to build a fence along the border. and are now building some of it in sections. That has been actively advocated for 25 years not only by the cattlemen but by the Department of State. the Treasury Department. acting through its customs officers and border patrol. and the Department of Justice through its Bureau of Immigration. so any idea about the fence is looking to a longrange program not only to help establish the line and mark the border and provide some protection against smugglers and aliens and things of that sort. but also to stop the smuggling and the drifting of animals. either domestic or wild. from Old Mexico across the border into the United States. It is my judgment. and that. I think. of all the cattlemen in my great big district. that it would in the long run be of very great benefit.
