BONNER: MERGING CUSTOMS, BORDER PATROL, INS ôUNLIKELYö

   U.S. Customs Commissioner Robert C. Bonner said a plan proposed over the past few months to merge his agency with the U.S. Border Patrol and the Immigration and Naturalization Service is 'fairly unlikely.'

   Responding to a question during a session at the American Association of Exporters and Importers conference in New York, Bonner said he doubted such a merging would happen, citing that governmental reorganizations are difficult tasks onto themselves.

   “Whether it should happen or not, I think it’s fairly unlikely,” he said.
