By the nature of their work. they continually risk the danger of assault. which could result in injury or death at the hands of the parolees. probationers. and persons from whom they seek information. Congress has in previous years provided such protection to agents of such agencies as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Customs. Immigration. Bureau of Prisons. and others involved in field activities on various public lands. I believe that such legislation extending these two sections of this statute to cover U.S. probation officers would be an appropriate recognition of the dangerous nature of their work.
