Customs has determined that U.S. residency enables its border workforce to better carry out its mission. Accordingly, GAO does not object to Customs using its appropriations to pay relocation costs if Customs chooses to do so. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-306748/html/GAOREPORTS-B-306748.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-306748/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-306748.pdf GAO/B-306748 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-306748 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-306748; B-306748, Customs and Border Protection--Relocation Expenses, July 6, 2006; Volume 115 Page 1012 115 Stat. 1012 Volume 119 Page 2064 119 Stat. 2064 Public Law 107-107 Public Law 109-90
