On the recordMay 7, 1997
If we look at the report put forth by the gentleman from Florida [Mr. McCollum] and the Juvenile Crime Control Act of 1997 out of the Committee on the Judiciary, they lay out on page 78, despite the fact he claimed he had no knowledge of it tonight, but on page 78 it says, we propose this program for several reasons. First, as written, it appears only 12 States, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, I know that is under some dispute with the gentleman from North Carolina [Mr. Watt], Vermont and Wyoming, would possibly qualify for funding. The other 38 States and the District of Columbia do not qualify. It is 1.5 billion spread among 11 or 12 States.
