Let me also note the fact that we have funded. in addition to the amendments passed today. the Women Against Violence Act and the Office of Violence Against Women Act. I was very pleased. as a member of the Judiciary Committee. to be one of those who helped reauthorize the VAWA Act. which now is being funded over these years. It is crucial that. in addition to providing for a Violence Against Women program to the United States. that we also include protecting immigrant women who sometimes are left destitute because their immigrant husband is abusing them. and they then become unstatus because the husband has left them. This is a very important program as well. Let me cite the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. $400 million. $62 million above 2007.
