Mr. Chairman. the gentleman has gone a long way to bring to the attention of this body. and our subcommittee. the problem that exists in the backlog of applications for naturalization at INS. The subcommittee. as the gentleman has said. has provided record sums. even a record increase in funding for INS. but the funding for the naturalization still is low. as the gentleman has pointed out. given the backlog that they have. The gentleman and other Members. the gentlewoman from Florida [Ms. RosLErINEN] and others. have pointed out the shortcomings. and the subcommittee will be having an opportunity to help the INS solve the problem. There are reprogramming procedures that the gentleman is aware of where we are able to reprogram from one part of INS to another. funding for various purposes. and I assure the gentleman that in the next round of reprogramming. funds will be provided to stay current and eliminate the backlog in naturalization applications. I assure the gentleman of that.
