Mr. Speaker. I favored Reorganization Plan No. 2 as it was presented to the House on June 5. 1973. when it was represented by Chairman HOLIFIELD that he had agreed with the representatives of the employees of the Immigration and Naturalization Service that if they withdrew their opposition to Reorganization Plan No. 2 as presented. his committee would present to the Congress a bill deleting section 2 which would have had the effect of transferring the Immigration and Naturalization inspecting force from the Justice Department to the Bureau of Customs. I am. therefore in favor of H.R. 8245 which is the result of that commitment. I accept the principle agreed to by the Government Operations Committee with the representatives of the employees of the inspections force of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. However. I have reservations about its passage in its present form for the reason that in H.R. 8245 as it is before us today. there is a nongermane amendment inserted by the Senate when H.R. 8245 was before that body.
