The DEA funding also includes $55 million to expand the DEAs current supply reduction efforts and restore funding for international drug control Program to the same level as it was in 1992. It has been reduced since then. and it is now back to that 1992 level. Mr. President. this bill also includes $2.1 billion for the INS. including $121 million for 1.000 new Border Patrol agents. $27 million for equipment. including infrared scopes and censors to track and intercept drug smugglers. and $12 million for 150 new land border inspectors. I believe this is an excellent commitment on the part of the U.S. Government. and when signed into law it will do as much as we can to control drugs on the border.
