And the gentlemans amendment would remove that. as well as reduce funding for the office of the Under Secretary for Management. which is tied to the need to consolidate DHS operations in a new headquarters. So. in the other aspect of the amendment. perhaps even more dangerously. the amendment proposes to reduce CBP salaries. Border Patrol salaries and expenses. by $6 million. That could generate significant vulnerabilities in the Border Patrols ability to ensure the security of the northern and southern borders. So the offsets are not good. and the overall increase would. in all likelihood. remain unspent. So for those reasons. and certainly not for any lack of concern about intelligence and analytical operations.
