While the Subcommittee received an extra $965 million on paper. it actually needed $1.1 billion just to account for last years credit from the Toyota settlement that is no longer available this year. As a result. the subcommittee was forced to cut numerous important programs below last years levels. They include the U.S. Marshals Service. which was cut by $141 million. legal representation for immigrant children. reduced by $55 million. and Federal assistance to State and local law enforcement agencies. cut by $139 million. Here is my conclusion. My good friend and colleague Senator ALEXANDER is rightly proud of the work he and his staff have put into the Energy and Water bill. and. as I said. it is a good bill.
