putting an additional 100,000 officers on the streets is a promise that this body made last year when it passed the crime bill. It is our duty to continue this vital program that represents an approximate 20 percent increase in the American police force. What the American people want is to feel safe in their homes and on the streets of their neighborhoods. They deserve this safety and the COPS Program is delivering it to them. I urge my colleagues to stand with me in protecting what is important to our country. I urge you to vote to save the COPS Program.
