Mr. President. the Immigration and Naturalization Service has included in its 197475 budget a request for 350 additional personnel to deal with the increasing problem of illegal entrants into the United States. The Senate Appropriations Committee has reduced that request to 100. I urge that the Senate approve the full 350 positions. The Immigration and Naturalization Service informs me that the number of illegal entrants apprehended has increased 850 percent since 1965. But the Service also relates that insufficient manpower prohibits its locating about four out of every five such entrants. INS Commissioner Chapman estimates that there are probably several million illegals currently residing in the United States.
