On the recordJune 17, 2004
In September 2002 a suspected terrorist cell was broken up in Lackawanna, New York, a city south of Buffalo, population 20,000. Five convictions. And on and on and on. Mr. Chairman, we have treated the urban areas in this bill better than we did in the current year, and we cut the formula funding for the rest of the country by a huge amount in this bill. We think we have already treated the urban areas fairly. If we had more money, we could treat them even better; but with what we have, we think we have treated them fairly. I would urge Members to reject this amendment.
