Part B. the pot that has the truth in sentencing money In it for requiring the States in order to get it to change their laws to require serious violent felons to serve at least 85 percent of their time. is going to be a carrot where most States will not have. and that is our idea. have not qualified. though I think somewhere in the neighborhood of six or eight States already are In that posture as opposed to the three the gentleman from New York keep stating to us. I believe that virtually all of this money will be consumed. probably all of it. by the States by time the 5 years runs out In both pots. but yesterday we passed a particular amendment which is being proposed today by this motion to recommit with Instructions to be changed of what would happen to any moneys that were not actually given out by the Attorney General in these grants because there were not requests for them or whatever. and we said yesterday. and we voted yesterday. to do this In this committee. that the funds. If there were any unused ones. would go for the purposes of Immigration and Naturalization Service investigators. and the expenses of the Bureau of Prisons. the Federal Bureau of Prisons. and Lord knows they need a lot of it. the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. attorneys for activities and operations related to the investigation. prosecution. and conviction of persons accused of a serious violent felony. and the incarceration of persons convicted of such offenses. It seems to me that that is an appropriate place to place the residual money. if there is any. which I do not think there will be from the prison grant program that is designed to try to get the serious violent felons off the street and solve the revolving door. We do not need to have a big debate out here tonight over cops on the street again.
