On the recordMay 11, 1994
Senator Harkin and I both are advocates for the Edward Byrne Memorial Grant Program. This program provides funds for local multijurisdictional law enforcement efforts to eradicate crime and drugs from our society.

I want to again thank the chairman for his help during the floor debate on this issue and for assuring that this program receives the Federal funding it deserves.
