“The reason why is because we just simply are worried about adequate resources for our own Federal purposes here. Prevention programs would normally be the kind of programs we are going to deal with on Monday and Tuesday for money going to the States. None of this money would go to the States. It would be recaptured, and it would be recaptured in any event by the Federal Government. It would simply go into some big hole that we would not have any control over. But doing this we control it to the extent we force it into the workings that this Committee on the Judiciary would want it to be, and for Federal purposes, as long as it is Federal purposes.”
