 FLORIDA LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SHOW INTEREST IN PREVENTION PROGRAMS

  (Ms. BROWN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am a new Member of Congress, and 
I have had a series of town meetings throughout my district, 
particularly in the Ocala-Marion County area in the district shared by 
me and the Member who previously spoke.
  In my series of workshops, my sheriffs and police chiefs have come to 
me and indicated they were very interested in the prevention piece in 
this bill, and in fact I did a poll throughout Florida, and the No. 1, 
the No. 2, and the No. 3 issue were crime, crime, and crime.
  It would be good if the Member representing Marion County and the 
Members representing Florida would listen to the people and the 
sheriffs and agree to produce a bill that, yes, is tough on crime but 
also has this prevention piece. Let us tell that Member from Marion 
County.
