Let me suggest another thing too. and that is that there are 400.000 what I call headquarters employees in Washington. DC. That means every agency that we have got. whether it is Immigration or EPA. and I am talking about civilian agencies. not our intelligence agencies. not DOD. there are 400.000 headquarters employees in Washington. DC. It is kind of interesting. If you talk to a postal worker in your district or to a border patrolman or somebody else in the Federal work force. and you talk to them about what they think about headquarters. it is like talking to a GI in the field. You say. "Do you think that the officers in headquarters could be downsized a little bit?" Let me tell you. they have got some opinions on it. Contrary to what a lot of people might think. the Federal work force is not against us. I think that when this comes about. if this is done on the merits by a commission that looks at the real need for efficiency in the Federal Government. you are going to see a lot of the headquarters employees. a lot of the employees of agencies located in Washington. DC.. taking a number of the cuts. in the higher level of bureaucracy. and you are going to see less of the policeman on the beat. the cop on the beat. the border patrolman. the guy delivering the mail in your district. taking these cuts.
