If the Senator from California will yield. I thank him for his comments. I understand his concern as well as the concern of the Senator from Florida on this issue of the State legalization impact assistance grants. otherwise known as SLIAG. because it does affect their States greatly and especially the border States where the immigrants mostly have settled and where this process has to be carried through in accordance with the legislation passed by the Congress a few years ago. I tried to allay the fears of the Senator from Florida and others when we came to the floor with the bill the first time by pointing out that this year was a rather unusual year. We came in with an extremely low 302(b) allocation-$390 million below the budget resolution that this Senate adopted earlier this year.
