Since the agents conviction. thousands of American citizens and dozens of Members of Congress have asked President Bush to pardon these two men. Mr. Speaker. many in this country are disappointed that the present sentence of Scooter Libby was commuted while these two law enforcement officers are still in prison. Mr. Libby did not spend one day in prison. yet two decorated Border Patrol agents with exemplary records. who were doing their duty to protect the American people from an illegal alien drug smuggler. are serving 11- and 12year prison sentences. By attempting to apprehend an illegal alien drug smuggler. these agents were enforcing our laws. not breaking them. Mr. Speaker.
