Mr. Chairman. I just want to comment particularly on the immigration additions to the authorization. because that is where $25 million out of approximately $36 million that is still up in the air lies. In my opinion. to fail to spend this $25 million in bolstering our ability to keep illegal aliens out of the country or remove those that are here is totally counterproductive and will cost us far more money. in my opinion. in welfare and various other aids and assistance that we will be required to render. To refuse to restore these positions in that enforcement area will actually be penny wise and pound foolish. The rest of the additions are small. approximately $3 million added to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
