Chairman. this bill still means real cuts in domestic programs that are of great concern to me. and I know others in the body. While our spending constraints just did not allow us to fund more programs as we would have liked. we did do our best to channel our limited funds to a handful of very high priority areas. In the Department of Justice. we have increased immigration inspectors at our borders. protected the border patrol from the cuts faced by other agcncies. and provided funds to activate new prisons due to come on line in 1994. though with a slight delay. For the Commerce Department. we have given significant increases to the administrations technology and manufacturing initiatives. The Economic Development Administration receives a slight increase over 1993. as does the weather service modernization program.
