On the recordOctober 28, 1999
If I might, then, say to the Senator from Massachusetts, the President's program for 100,000 cops has given the money directly to the police departments and the communities to put more cops on the beat. We have seen the crime rate coming down in America, partially because of this. Now we have the same debate about the money going directly to the schools so they can reduce class size. And there is resistance, again, from the Republican side of the aisle. Have we not learned any lesson from the 100,000 cops, that if the money goes directly to the problem, we can get results?
