Chapter II totals about $408 million in supplemental funds. but we are $1.5 million under what the amount appropriated in the 1985 enacted law plus the supplementals requested by the administration. Under this bill. we implement the Comprehensive Crime Control Act we passed here last fall. The prison system Is involved. additional Border Patrol agents are Involved. drug enforcement is involved. the FTC. SBA. and the Maritime Commission. the SEC. there is funding to enhance security for the embassies overseas where we have had some problems and Americans have died. There are a number of very important things in this bill that have not received much attention. and I think it should be called to everyones attention that there are many items affecting virtually everyone In the United States in this bill and that the dispute regarding aid to Nicaraguan Contras is only a small part of the bill.
