I am presenting a bill today designating Glacier Park International Airport in Kalispell. Mont.. as a port of entry. It is an appropriate place for the Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service to open new facilities in that area. I believe such a post could be filled by reassigning personnel. at most only one or two new people might have to be hired. We are faced with a typical chickenoregg situation in Kalispell. Customs and Immigration says that service cannot be provided because there are not enough tourists and other travelers entering at Glacier Park Airport. Airlines and other air carriers do not land at the airport because there are no reliable customs and immigration services. However. the log jam has now been broken. The city of Kalispell has obtained a firm commitment from a Canadian airline to offer scheduled service into the airport as soon as customs and immigration services are offered there. Now it is up to the Services to respond. If the private sector is corre~t. thnre will be enough traffic to warrant such action.
