I would like to ask another question through the Chair to the Senator from Oregon. Is it not also true that many of these Federal agencies have defined responsibilities and defined areas of jurisdiction? For example, in the city of Chicago, as probably is the case in Portland, OR, there is a Federal protective service that has a specific building and facility and personnel in that facility that they are responsible for. Is that not the case in Oregon?
