Postal Service. and general Government appropriation bill. my colleague from New York offered an amendment to clarify agency responsibility for suppressing drug traffic at our borders. The amendment which passed by a vote of 283 to 100 precluded the transfer of Customs Bureau funds for border control to any other agency. Bob Wiedrich. a respected columnist for the Chicago Tribune. recently returned from investigating firsthand conditions at our Mexican border. He began a series of articles in the Tribune. Sunday. June 23. which could not be more timely in terms of congressional interest.
