We reported this measure on April 23. Mr. Chairman. the most important changes in the operation of the Department were made with respect to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Clearly. this service is in need of reform. To this end. the bill authorizes creation of a fully automated nonimmigrant control system. It creates within the service the Office of Inspector General so that there might be independent review of Immigration and Naturalization Service operations and candid reports to the Congress on those areas in need of reform. Finally. the bill authorizes a substantial increase in our border patrol capabilities rather than the substantial reduction asked by the administration. For the FBI. the bill authorizes the amount requested by the Department. I understand some amendments will be offered to change the allocations and increase the total. all in conformity with the needs of this most capable law enforcement agency.
