On the recordJuly 23, 1998
the Senator from Ohio presents, I think, very effectively the case for continuing the efforts that we have had in the past--some quite successful--to intercept the drug trafficking, and to make sure that we do not let down our guard, and to maintain the facilities and personnel that we need to do it. The thing I am concerned about--and I commend the Senator from Ohio for bringing this to our attention; we will be looking at this over the next period of time--the offset for this amendment, if I am not mistaken, is proposed to come out of the administrative costs at DOT; am I correct in that?
