I just had this. coming from an international flight. discussion with a fine gentleman in the Customs Department. Thirtytwo years he has been there. and he indicates to me just how difficult it is for them to do more with less. The amendment that Mr. THOMPSON offered authorized funding for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to hire 1.600 more officers at Americas seaports. Representative LANGEVIN offered an amendment that authorized $117 million for the purchase of advanced radiation portal monitors at all our ports to ensure that Customs officials have the most uptodate equipment to do their job. I kept hearing all this stuff last night about they do not have this technology and everything.
