I would point out again. and the big inadequacies I would like to share with the folks on my side of the aisle especially. the big inadequacies in the bill. there is not enough money in there now for the FBI. the DEA. the INS. the USIA. and then for those Members who feel that the State Department does good work. it is woefully underfunded in the bill as it is. Overall we tried our best to balance the needs of the Members who came to us with their requests. We tried to balance the needs of the agencies. above all of course. in the functions of the Government. bearing in mind that we are trying to implement a new omnibus crime bill in the Justice Department. for example. and also fund the new Immigration Reform Program that is now ongoing in the INS. We are trying to house more prisoners every day and we are way over capacity in the Federal prisons. Yet that agency is underfunded in this bill.
