This was one of the most significant features of Reorganization Plan No. 2. Unfortunately. there were those in the executive branch who objected to the loss of personnel resulting from the transfer of 500 customs personnel to the Department of Justice. To eliminate these objections. it was decided to transfer between 900 and 1.000 individuals from the Immigration and Naturalization Service to the Treasury Department. As we all know. this led to serious reservations in Congress and several labor unions regarding the illegal alien problems facing the United States--reservations which threatened the approval of Reorganization Plan No. 2. To alleviate congressional and union concerns. the administration agreed to make section 2 of the reorganization plan "inoperative" after passage of the bill. In essence. this means that there will be no transfer of Immigration and Naturalization Service inspectors to the Bureau of Customs. Certain Congressmen objected to executive behavior in neutralizing labor opposition to Reorganization Plan No. 2. There was much talk about the Executives contempt for Congress and the legislative process.
