Gepdenson Oephardt I am amazed. we found somehow the Gibbons capacity in this Congress to give men- Oilman eys. funds for 300 additional border pa- Gonzalez Gordon trol agents more than even what the Green (TX) administration. the Clinton adminis- Gutierrez tration. requested. The President re- Hail (OH) quested about 700 new border patrol of- Hilton Harman ficers. This Congress said. we are going Hastings (FL) to give you 1.000.
