I thank the gentleman for yielding. As the gentleman knows. in the past the gentleman has very justly shown concern about some of these items. and the gentleman. from New Jersey has reassured him in the past. As the gentleman recalls. we addressed a letter to the Immigration Service in order to insure that none of the moneys that are in here as a lump sum would be used for other than the purposes that they are now being used. and that is for no further acquisition of land. no further new construction of these fences that the gentleman is concerned with. I wholeheartedly agree that this is a valid. legitimate concern. But I want to tell him once again that he has my wholehearted cooperation. and if it is necessary. although we do know that the sums are delineated for reasons other than the gentleman has concern about.
