New Customs Chief in USA
President Obama has nominated Alan Bersin , a veteran of federal border enforcement and a former San Diego schools superintendent to be the new commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the nation's largest law enforcement agency. Bersin was a senior partner in the Los Angeles law firm of Munger , Tolles & Olson and a law professor.
The US Customs Chief is appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. The Indian Customs Chief is just another Special Secretary overshadowed by the Revenue Secretary.
