On the recordJuly 1, 1999
I have to tell you, I have no quarrel with my colleagues from Texas and Arizona in my efforts and interests in reducing the use of drugs in America, since I helped write this bill and I have been on the forefront of trying to reduce drugs and putting money where it is most needed. But I remind my friend from Texas that, in fact, in this bill we put in $263 million over the administration's request. In addition, as I have already said, of the $276 million of funds provided in the emergency supplement, which was signed into law on May 31 of this year, Customs has still not spent $143 million of that money. I know some of it is for equipment, but certainly some of that could be transferred within the Department to areas that need it. We have done the best we can.
