Mr. Chairman. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman. this is a fairly straightforward amendment. It moves $300 million from prison construction funds to the local law enforcement block grant so that programs for prevention and cops can be funded to a larger extent. Mr. Chairman. this will have no effect on the money for incarcerating illegal aliens that we just heard the debate on. The prison grant program requires an increase in incarceration on a massive basis. We already have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world. over five times the international average.
