Mr. President. I was planning on offering an amendment to the CommerceJusticeState appropriations bill to address a special need of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit which is known as BORTAC. I am confident. however. that my request can be met without an amendment. and I would like to thank my good friend. the chairman of the CommerceJusticeState Subcommittee. for his generosity and cooperation. He and his staff have been tremendously patient and thoughtful in working this request through. The request. as I have said. has to do with BORTAC. a special unit of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. It is a specially trained and equipped tactical unit that can quickly address unusual situations within the agency by use of special techniques and its unique franchise to handle incidents involving aliens. BORTACs agents can be deployed anywhere in the United States within 12 hours and are prepared to handle civil disturbances. protect property. contain hostage situations. perform rescue and recovery operations. counter border violence. and assist and train other agencies in similar problems.
