VA. I wonder whether my colleagues from this area were aware that they had been singled out for exclusion from an earmark. Other report language earmarks are more typical. such as: Various earmarks for southwest border activities. although I note that my colleagues singled out the New Mexico and Texas borders for special attention to combat illegal border crossing and drug smuggling problems. I was of the impression that these problems were prevalent across the entire border with Mexico. including Arizona and California. Similarly. the report requires that twothirds of the additional 1.000 border patrol agents are to be deployed in Texas sectors. with the remaining 300plus agencies to be scattered across New Mexico. Arizona. or California. The report earmarks $1 million for Nova Southeastern University in Florida for the establishment of a National Coral Reef Institute to conduct research on. what else. coral reefs.
