"I strongly support the legislation involved here, the Victims of Crime Act. It is the bedrock of support for victims' services across the country."

"If you look back at the history of this legislation, when the Victims of Crime Act was passed, there was not a whole lot at the State level."

"But one of the most important is when there is Federal leadership. Just as you suggest, it does spread to the State level."

"I have not meant to ignore the other four very valuable witnesses."
