I do so reluctantly because the hour is late and the matter is a complex one. But the fact of the situation is this. that a joint 0MBTreasuryJustice study of Federal law enforcement activities along the Nations borders was initiated in December 1973. That inquiry indicated that some readjustment of the existing responsibilities as between Customs and the Immigration Service ought to be worked out. An attempt has been made at the beginning that readjustment. and I know full well that the pending proposal on the part of the Department of Justice and. I suppose. to an extent on the part of OMB is very strongly opposed by my friend. the gentleman from New York. and also by our subcommittee chairman.
