The Drug Enforcement Administration emphasized in recent testimony before the Subcommittee on Crime that arrest authority is neither needed. nor wanted. The assistance requested by the DEA is adequately provided for in the Judiciary Committee amendment and in the amendment offered by the gentleman fromTexas. Finally. Mr. Chairman. I would like to commend the gentleman from Texas for including in his amendment authority for military personnel to assist in the operation and maintenance of loaned equipment to enforce Federal immigration and customs law as well. Like drug enforcement. these are areas where such assistance will prove invaluable. I understand that the Justice Department supports this approach.
