We must not. on the one hand. pay lipservice to reducing the scourge of drugs. safeguarding our citizens from crime. and regaining control of our bordersand at the same time deny the Department of Justice the minimal resources to carry out its work. The effort to balance the budget requires us to establish priorities for Federal expendituresnot to reduce essential and nonessential governmental activity indiscriminately. The effects of this amendment will be antithetical to the wishes of the American people. they for good reason. want more rather than less enforcement of our laws. This amendment. however. will compromise the missions of the Drug Enforcement Administration. the Federal Bureau of Investigation. and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The Governments capacity to litigate criminal and civil cases will be reducedand court security provided by the U.S. Marshals Service will be threatened.
