On the recordFebruary 14, 1995
Reclaiming my time, let me first of all, Mr. Chairman, speak to the fact that, having reentered the body, I think some of the applications for the local law enforcement funds under the gentleman's version of the crime bill the last session were already well underway by the time that I returned to the House, although we hasten to point out that it is not our intent here to jeopardize funds that have been committed. Our intent here, though, is to maximize flexibility and local decisionmaking on the part of those individuals who are closest to the problems in their local communities. That is the thrust of this legislation.
