Mr. Chairman. the purpose of this amendment is to make it possible for any law enforcement officer to make an arrest. It is necessary because under the language as contained in the Senate bill the only officers authorized to make arrests are members of the Immigration and Naturalization Service or of the FBI. Now quite obviously it is not always possible to attract the attention of officers of those classifications. and I feel that any law enforcement officer. whose duty it is to enforce the criminal laws. should have the authority under this statute to make an arrest of a felon.
