Rather than help. the gentleman from Florida would dump another 10.000 to 20.000 pesons who are convicted. not of a Federal law. but of State laws into the Federal system. I would like to briefly read a letter made available to us today from the Justice Department. signed by John R. Bolton. Assistant Attorney General. It reads: This is to express the grave concerns of the Department of Justice with respect to the proposed amendment which would authorize transfer of illegal aliens in State and local penal facilities to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. It simply is not realistic in the light of current conditions. The Federal inmate population today has increased from 24.000 in 1981 to 41.000.
