Our recommendation not to include funding does not indicate a particular bias against this program. but reflects our priorities in working out a proper balance between Federal law enforcement activities and assistance to State and local law enforcement within our overall bottom line. As Senator Muskie said some years ago. we are not picking between good and bad. but selecting from among the good. We have provided for the expansion of the U.S. Trustee System and the Immigration and Naturalization Service in response to the legislation that the Committee on the Judiciary drafted last year. These two programs are increasing by $16.2 million and $69.3 million respectively. Overall the Department of Justice is increasing by $354 million over last years level.
