We increase the Drug Courts funding by $10 million. And we give $10 million for a new program to help small businesses create drugfree workplaces. We provide a $216 million increase for controlling illegal immigration. including 1.000 new Border Patrol agents. We include a $47 million interior enforcement initiative to fund 50 quick response teams. one in each State. to force the INS to respond to your State and local police in every State when they find suspected illegal aliens. As it is right now. your State police. your local police. arrest a vanload of illegal aliens. they call the INS for help in removing them to the Federal jurisdiction. there is not even an answer on the telephone. INS does not even answer the phone. We in this bill create 50 new quick response teams to respond to our local officials and take the illegals off our hands and deal with them on the Federal level. as we are supposed to do. We also include $62 million in offsetting collections from fees to fund backlog reduction action teams to mobilize in those districts with the longest naturalization backlogs. since the INS cannot seem to manage this on their own. For the Department of Commerce. Mr.
