I know that just about everybody is in favor of more space in our prisons and at the same time wants no prisons in their area. I think. though. that the residents of the Ninth District have some very special concerns in this matter and it is for this reason that I am offering an amendment to provide for a 1year moratorium on building the additional facility so that all parties involved may have a chance to work out some of the outstanding points of discussion. First. there are already two prisons very close to each other in the Livermore Valley and if the Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS] follows through with its plans to build an illegal alien detention center there. there will be three. I would argue that this fourth facility might be too much of a good thing. The people of the Livermore Valley are proud of many things in their area.
