However. we did not get any additional money put into it. for this purpose either. We have had additional authorizations for Border Patrol agents on a number of occasions. The Immigration Act of 1990 included an amendment I offered on the floor for an additional 1.000 Border Patrol officers. The Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act for fiscal year 1991 included $55 million to hire and train 1.000 additional Border Patrol personnel. yet we continue to allow the border to remain underfunded. During the fiscal year 1993. the Border Patrol lost 65 agents. The Presidents budget request for fiscal year 1994 included a decrease of 93 agents. It constantly goes on.
