The committee increases total approximately $51.3 million over the Presidents budget. We have added to the budget in several areas where we believed additional resources were necessary. The committee has added approximately $20 million to the Presidents request for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. We believe that such additional funding Is necessary in order to insure that the Service be better prepared to take on its monumental task of enforcing the immigration laws and providing prompt service to the public. We have added language to provide for the emergency relocation of drug enforcement agents and their families when their lives are threatened. The committee has added approximately $15 million to the Federal prison system funding level to provide for technical assistance and training for State and local correctional authorities. to provide for an additional 200 correctional officers which we believe to be the bare minimum necessary to meet the need. to provide additional funding for inmate legal services. and to add 500 more beds for contract community facilities.
