We vote "yes" or we vote "no." As my colleague from California pointed out. we can neither cross a "T" nor dot an "I." yet here the Bureau of the Budget makes "inoperative" a major section of the bill. The proposal is defective. It guts the Bureau of Customs. It guts the Immigration and Naturalization Service. It says. "We will consider the problem of drugs." and I agree it Is important. "but we will disregard the problems of illegal immigration and other smuggling into this country In defiance of our customs laws and other laws of the United States." Let us come forward with a balanced plan. Let us legislate. Let us carry out the function of the Congress by doing that with which we are charged with doing under the Constitution.
