The awards program has been a success. I would hate to see the Department stop publicizing rewards for lack of funds. The account also pays for confidential efforts to investigate U.S. visa and passport frauds by terrorists and refugee smugglers. The gentleman makes an interesting point on the carryover money. and we must acknowledge this carryover money is part of an effort to replenish this fund to deal with those contingencies which may be far more than anyone could now anticipate. As I look at the spending history of this account. and moving aside the representational expenses which now have been capped and limited. the fact is that in fiscal year 1989. there was appropriated $4.5 million with obligations of just less than $100.000 left in that.
