On the recordFebruary 11, 1992
Well, I think there are three things that I would point you to, and keep in mind we don't have to do it in the first year. We have--when you all talk to me about my campaign commitments, remember I've got a 4-year term--[laughter]--at least that. I want to do that from three sources. Number one, I hope we can bring that crime bill back up that almost passed but didn't last time and have some funds for local law enforcement to hire more police officers. Number two, I want to proceed at a pace with the national service program, which will give priority in every State to people who want to pay their college loans back by working as police officers. Number three, I want to pursue the idea that Senator Nunn first raised, at least he was the first one I ever heard raise it, of helping people who are going to be mustered out of the military service to qualify to move quickly into careers as police officers or teachers. And so, we believe from those three sources, with the funding that I have set aside in the budget I will recommend, and the other things that we will do over the next 4 years, we will be able to meet that goal.
