Mr. Chairman. the bill as passed by the Committee on the Judiciary makes important improvements on the Department of Justice authorization. It was approved on a bipartisan basis. It deals with the Violence Against Women Act. especially as It applies to immigrants. the COPS authorization. fighting drug abuse. It adds administrative efficiencies. and. as I indicated. it came out of committee on a bipartisan basis. Unfortunately. the managers amendment will ruin this bipartisan cooperation. Reference has been made to the letter we have received from the NAACP that points out that the bill as passed out by the Committee on the Judiciary was much better than the managers amendment.
