I support this measure because, parochially speaking, it does a great deal for some of the projects in which we are so interested in Pennsylvania. For instance, at Fort Indiantown Gap, this calls for full funding of an anti-drug/antiterrorist school and training program that is extant in that institution, that military base. That alone would justify my vote for this. But then we include, on top of that, the fact that there is language that will help the State Borough Association implement a plan of Pennsylvania-wide security measures and infrastructure protection that is vital to our State, as it is to every other State in similar circumstances. Thirdly, under the INS, there is strong language to help us implement the CIVAS program through the designated school officials' training program that will make the visa applications of students better monitored.
