We share with our neighbor to the north the worlds longest undefended border. but I have recently become aware of some problems along that border. even within the boundaries of the International Peace Garden. Both Manitoba and North Dakota donated land for this large garden that citizens of both countries enjoy. Two problems have recently come to my attentionone involving immigration labor restrictions for workers at the Peace Garden and its International Music Camp. and one involving a $19brokerage fee that is being charged each time Peace Garden officials bring goods across the border. I will bring the first problem to the attention of the Judiciary Committee. but I would like to resolve the Customs problem today. since it is causing hard feelings at the border and involves trade and the purchase of goods from across the border. Statutory language is needed in the trade bill to ensure that the Peace Garden doesnt provoke more conflict than cooperation.
