We now seek to include additional provisions within the jurisdiction of our committee into the Senate reconciliation package. Our bipartisan amendment funds a number of Judiciary programs that enjoyed broad bipartisan support when Congress authorized them. These mandatory spending changes would simply spend some of the additional revenue that we raised through increases in immigration fees during our markup. Our proposal would provide $60.000.000 over the next 5 years for such initiatives as the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program. which helps law enforcement agencies purchase or replace body armor for their rankandfile officers. Recently. concerns over body armor safety surfaced when a Pennsylvania police officer was shot and critically wounded through his new vest outfitted with a material called Zylon.
