If the motion to recommit passes. it would increase the number of cases that could not be prosecuted and. under the Speedy Trial Act. the number of defendants who would be turned loose. With regard to the FBI. a reduction of this magnitude would represent a loss of over 2.000 work years or the equivalent of 3.800 personnel. that is. 680 agents and 3.120 support personnel. With regard to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. a 5percent cut would result in the loss of 1.145 positions and would significantly reduce the border enforcement and detention and deportation programs against illegal aliens. which the administration has said in recent days it considers to be very important programs. In the Drug Enforcement Administration. dealing with one of the big problems we have in this country. a 5percent cut would result in the abolishment of all the regional offices. 24 resident offices. and all of the funded State and local task forces. Well. the fact of the matter is that in an appropriations bill that we passed in this House many. many weeks ago and that languished in the Senate for several weeks until they just took it up last week. we met all of the requirements that were given to us for reductions.
