I am also pleased that this bill provides greater financial assistance to State and local police forces so that those brave souls on the frontlines will have the resources they need to fight the crime on their streets. In addition. I am happy that this bill contains an amendment of mine which relates to the addition of felony drunk driving to the list of those crimes which are grounds for deportation for resident aliens. This substance of this amendment was first brought to my attention by the Mothers Against Drunk Driving and I am pleased that the Senate hap acted to include this important crime provision in this crime package. I am also pleased about what has been eliminated from the Presidents version of this bill including the narrowing of the exclusionary rule and the creation of a secret star chamber operating under unconstitutional procedures regarding the deportation of individuals accused of being alien terrorists. These were serious intrusions upon constitutionally protected liberties and I am happy to see that the Senate has seen fit to reject them. There are. however. very serious deficiencies in the bill as well.
