The chairman. As you were giving us your statement, the thought occurred to me, just why is it that the human equation is the last to be taken care of? It is quite an interesting thing to recall that we have spent many millions of dollars to take care of the commodities that are being transported from one part of the country to another, but that this is the first investigation of this kind relating to human interests, as people travel back and forth across the country into the different States. It is a very interesting subject.
We had someone from Mexico testifying before the committee, and he pointed out the fact that we have many agreements relating to boundaries, but not anything in reference to human traffic. It is quite interesting to note that that is the last thing taken care of in the defense program.
