luthority: 1 Stat. 29. Reorganization Plan 1 of 1965.

         The U.S. Customs Service was created by the Congtess in
1789 to collect duties on imports. Over the years it has been
giver. additional responsibilities that include the control of:
terrorism# international traffic?.ing in controlled substances,
arms, currency, and threats to public health. Customs has
approximately 11,500 employees assigned to over 300 offices in
the United States and other employees at overseas locations.
These offices are linked through four organizational levels or
tiers, a basic organizational arrangement which was established
in a major reorqanization in 1965 and 1966.
Findingq/Conclusions: Sirce the 1965-1966 reorganization, there
have been numerous organizational studies that have questioned
the appropriateness of the 9-region, 45-district configuration.
To date, however, no reductions have been made. Studies have
indicated that reduction of 6 regions and 30 districts would cut
Customs' administrative overhead, maintain better balance of
workload and personnel among field offices, improve operational
efficiency and coordination, and provide ore consistent
application of laws and regulations. (RRS)
