     In 1998, for example, Congress became sufficiently worried about such
problems in the Customs Service that it ordered the Treasury Department's Office
of Professional Responsibility to undertake a special study of corruption within the
service and the efficacy of service's internal affairs system to combat it. In
February 1999, in a little noticed report, the office concluded that while organized
networks of corruption had not been uncovered within the Customs Service, that
the massive flow of drugs into the U.S. places "Customs and its employees at great
risk to corruption." OPR also found serious weaknesses in how the Office of
Internal Affairs "sought to detect and combat corruption."
