US Customs Chief – another controversy

By Vijay Kumar

Julie Myers, 36 — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.This young beautiful lady is all set to head the US Customs if President Bush has his way. But the US press is not impressed. She is only 36 and a lawyer with not much of experience and hardly any experience in Customs or Border Protection.

Julie Myers is just 36 and is almost sure to take over the important assignment. Customs and Border Protection in the post - 9/11 scenario is a very important department of the US administration,. More for security than for revenue.

At her nomination hearing last week Myers remarked, “I realize that I'm not 80 years old, I have a few grey hairs, more coming, but I will seek to work with those who are knowledgeable in this area, who know more than I do."
