I commend the new chairman of the subcommitee. Senator GREGG. for the fine Job he did in conference on this bill. This bill provides dramatic increases in our frontline law enforcement and the Border Patrol as well as increased flexibility for States in developing their crime fighting strategy through the new State and local law enforcement assistance block grant. A total of $1.9 billion will be provided to States and local governments for the hiring and equipping of law enforcement personnel. updated technology. and crime prevention programs. There are a few items for which I would like to express particular appreciation to the distinguished chairman and ranking member of the subcommittee.
