Agents. With reduction of overall numbers. Do you anticipate a need to reexamine and restructure how the Border Patrolmans bases and Forward Operating bases . I share very much the concern we discussed on this hiring issue. For the Border Patrol to be in a downward spiral, which means were not able to hire as fast as attrition is very concerning. I have talked with your staff also about the number of programs that we put in place, particularly to speed up the process. So in these new hiring hubs we can get people through in 160 days until at times, well over a year. That is important. The close cooperation with the department of defense as people leave the department of defense and the active duty military to be able to hire them into the Border Patrol or into customs and Border Protection is particularly important. Working with congress for additional pay for very difficult locations where they work, hardship reimbursement would be particularly helpful. Along with things that weve dis
