Mr. Speaker. I am calling up H.R. 8245 to rectify an inequity and to alleviate a serious problem in the Immigration and Naturalization Service. As Members will recall. Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1973 was allowed to go into effect by a vote of 281 to 130 on June 7. 1973. The effective date as specified in the plan was July 1. 1973. The plan dealt primarily with the creation of a new Drug Enforcement Administration in the Department of Justice but contained provisions affecting the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Justice and the Bureau of Customs in Treasury. During the consideration of that plan it was brought to the attention of the committee that section 2 of the plan as drawn would produce difficulties in administration which had not been foreseen. Section 2 would have transferred a number of employeesapproximately 900--of the INS to the Department of the Treasury who would be made a part of the inspection force of the Bureau of Customs.
