As a former judge and prosecutor. I recognize that the Federal Government has an important role to play in the fight against drugs and crime. and I am especially pleased that this years legislation devotes significant resources to law enforcement and related activities. This important commitment to public safety is reflected in the increased dollars that are provided for drug enforcement initiatives. for enforcing our immigration laws and border control. for implementing the recent antiterrorism bill. and for assisting State and local governments in their drug control and crime fighting efforts. By targeting funding at the State and local level. the bill continues to broaden our policy of empowering local authorities to develop local solutions that best address their own unique situations.
