It Is a real improvement over the fiscal 1996 bill in several areas. We do have funding for ATP. It is too low. but it is better than the zero we started our with last year. There is substantial funding for the COPS Program. rather than no funding. where we started out last year. There is good funding for the core programs at the National Institute for Standards and Techonolgy. very. very robust funding for law enforcement and Immigration an. tmany. many other important areas. But there are some real deficei.cies here. And without wanting to exaggerate those relative to the pluses in the bill.
