Speaker. I rise in support of H.R. 6078. a bill I cosponsored. The sole purpose of this legislation is to extend to immigration and customs inspectors the same retirement treatment accorded other Federal law enforcement personnel Under the hazardous duty provisions -of the civil service retirement law. That is. immediate retirement benefits at age 5020 years of service at 2 percent with no reduction in annuity for being under age 55. As a former FBI agent and one who has witnessed firsthand the duties and responsibilities of customs and immigration inspectors. I am of the opinion they are essentially law enforcement officers. Accordingly. they are entitled to. and should be extended benefits under the hazardous duty provisions of the civil service retirement law.
