Mr. Joe Sweeney:

The United Kingdom figures can be widely disputed for the simple reason that, as I stated, in our own country we have eight ports and an insufficient number of scanners. They have far more in the United Kingdom and I do not believe they have complete figures in this regard. For instance, only the other day a single seizure in the United Kingdom yielded 30 million cigarettes. I do not have to hand the figures in the joint committee's possession but I strongly reject them.
