But that is fine. because in the end we really do end up with strong funding for law enforcement efforts. This bill provides $7.1 billion for drug enforcement initiatives. including a 21percent increase over fiscal year 1996 funding for the Drug Enforcement Administration. The bill also provides funds for 1.100 more border patrol agents. 2.700 additional detention beds for safe holding of illegal aliens until deportation. a $51 million increase is provided for U.S. attorneys. a $37.5 million increase is provided for the Marshal Service. and $255 million in increased funding is provided for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Of special note. I want my colleagues to know that $1.4 billion is provided for the COPS program. the cornerstone of the Presidents crimefighting strategy.
