Chairman. in committee I voted against this plan. and today I will vote for the plan. I want to say that when the Waldie resolution of disapproval was first presented. I felt it proper in view of section 2 of the bill. which took away from the Immigration and Naturalization Service some 900 inspectors at a time when they desperately needed far more than they have today. On the merits of this bill. however. approximately 95 percent of the effect of the bill. to consolidate the drug abuse enforcement section under Justice. is highly appropriate. The proposed transfer of Immigration Service personnel was not. The reorganization plan will become effective on July 1 if we enact it into law today. We are assured by the chairman of the subcommittee that a bill to repeal the defective section 2 will be reported out by his subcommittee. hopefully next week. and will be on the floor of the House before the date the law becomes effective.
