Anthony: * * * Congress should be keenly aware of the impact that such an amendment could have on the essential operations of the federal government in general. and of the Department of Justice in particular. In a word. the impact could be devastating! It would significantly set back any progress that this Nation has made in combatting violent crime. the importation of illegal drugs. and illegal immigration. Instead of bolstering and enhancing our law enforcement programs as proposed in the FY 1996 budget. we will be dismantling and disarming our side in the war against violent crime. and retreating in our efforts to control our Nations borders. I think it is important to take a brief look at what has happened to law enforcement funding during the past few years in response to the rising tidal wave of crime.
