Of this amount. our Federal Bureau of Investigations. the FBI. is provided $3.1 billion. and we have funded completion of its new laboratory at Quantico as well as $10 million to enhance efforts to combat child pornography on the Internet. As. I said. weve made sure the INS will keep our borders secure. by providing an additional. 1.000 Border Patrol agents in the Immigration and Naturalization service. Furthermore. the bill extends section 2451 of the Immigration Act. These fees allow adjustment of status for legal immigrants in the United States and result in the Immigration Service getting almost $200 million per year for border enforcement and combating illegal immigration. This is important to both INS which needs the funding. and the State Department which no longer has the consular officers overseas to provide for adjustment of status in embassies. Within the Justice Department. we also provide $1.033 billion for our prosecutors. the U.S. attorneys.
