The bill also includes full funding of the requests for contributions to international organizations. as well as the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs that was originally reduced by the House committee but restored on the House floor. Second. In the Department of Justice we have sought to cover all of the highpriority items identified by the Committee on the Judiciary in developing the Department of Justice Authorization Act. including funds for the State and local drug task forces. additional positions for the criminal (81) and civil rights (35) divisions. 75 of the 131 additional positions authorized for the land and natural resources division. continuation of the State antitrust enforcement grants. the full $584.408.000 authorized for the FBI. and a major expansion of the Border Patrol to deal with the illegal alien situation on the southwestern border. Incidentally. we have included the increase we were able to add on the floor in debate on the FBI authorization bill. Crime is on the increase and. rather than the original administration request to cut some 287 agents again this year. the Congress. in turn. now is adding and maintaining the agent force to take care of the increase in crime.
