Mr. Chairman. I will be offering an amendment today relative to utilization of our military at our border. It has been stripped from the defense authorization bill. It is probably the major debate that exists on this issue. This is a good bill. I will support it. But there is still one glaring weakness: strong border security to ensure a strong reduction of narcotics. Theories are theories. Our drug program is heavy on theory. lightweight on substance and factual data to. in fact. measure outcome indicators that reduce the presence of narcotics. Period. One hundred percent of heroin comes across our border.
