OnMarch 28. 1952. the House committee recommended a reduction of $1.000.000. By floor action on April 4. 1952. the House eliminated the entire item of $4.001.000. On June 13. 1952. the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee and testified in support of an appeal for restoration of the item of $4.001.000. On June 24. 1952. the Senate committee reported the 1953 bill without restoring the item of $4.001.000. Pursuant to the authorization in the Third Supplemental Appropriation Act. 1952. the Immigration and Naturalization Service has caused to report for duty some 300 additional employees. recruited from various locations throughout the United States and reporting at their own expense to positions of duty on the southern border. also. construction work has been started for the two processing stations and supplies and equipment have been ordered to implement the program. Unless the Congress now provides money to carry forward this emergency program already authorized. it will mean that those additional employees so far recruited must be separated as of June 30. 1952. and that they must return to their homes at great personal expense and sacrifice. It will also mean that augmented corrective measures on the Mexican border must be immediately halted and that much of the money already appropriated and expended during the current fiscal year will have been in vain.
