Included in the grant program that we propose in this new legislation is a special funding for community policing projects for crime prevention programs. again only in those communities where there is a very high crime rate. Roughly $500 million over a period of 5 years to be devoted to grant programs for schools in highcrime areas in order to get crime prevention in those school systems for burglar alarms. for more security guards. and so forth. Then. in addition to that. because the alien problem is so great. we would nearly double the number of criminal investigators in the Immigration and Naturalization Service. We would add 3.000 border patrol. which is almost doublethe number of border patrol that we have t6day.. Probably the most creative provision in the entire bill is a provision that was drafted in order to help solve the overcrowding problem. It is a sharing proposition between the States and Federal Government for a regional prison system in which certain State criminals would be incarcerated. if the States agree to pay 50 percent of the cost of construction of these prisons and they agree to pay 0 percent of the cost of the operation and maintenance. and the other 50 percent is paid for by the Federal Government.
