On the recordJuly 1, 1999
I want to clarify with the ranking member of the Treasury Appropriations Subcommittee the intent of this bill regarding its appropriation of $80.1 million for salaries and expenses at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) located in Glynco, GA. This appropriation is $6 million less than the $86 million for salaries initially requested by FLETC. It is my understanding that the lion's share of this reduction is simply the result of a readjustment based on what the Subcommittee and Committee believe will be the actual workload at FLETC and not an indication of the Committee's intent that there be any reduction in FLETC's ability to fulfill its mission.
