         STATEMENT UNDER THE VIOLENT CRIME REDUCTION TRUST FUND

  Mr. SASSER. Mr. President, on behalf of the Committee on the Budget, 
under section 310001(f)(2) of the Violent Crime Control and Law 
Enforcement Act of 1994, Public Law 103-322, I hereby submit 
allocations of new budget authority and outlays for fiscal year 1995 
from the violent crime reduction trust fund to the Senate Committee on 
Appropriations.
  The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which the 
President signed into law last week, establishes a violent crime 
reduction trust fund. Section 310001(f) of that Act requires budget 
authority and outlays from the trust fund to be separated from all 
other budget authority and outlays in the allocations of spending 
authority to the Appropriations Committees made under section 602(a) of 
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
  To implement the new producers in fiscal year 1995, section 
310001(f)(2) of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act 
directs the chairmen of the Senate and House Budget Committees to 
submit revised allocations to the Appropriations Committees under 
section 602(a) of the Budget Act, reflecting creation of the violent 
crime reduction trust fund.
  Section 310001(f) of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement 
Act of 1993 states:

       (f) Allocation and Suballocation of Amounts in the Fund.--
       (1) In general.--Section 602(a) of the Congressional Budget 
     Act of 1974 is amended--
       (A) in paragraph (1)(A) by striking ``and'' at the end of 
     clause (ii), by striking the semicolon and inserting a comma 
     at the end of clause (iii), and by adding after clause (iii) 
     the following:
       ``(iv) new budget authority from the Violent Crime 
     Reduction Trust Fund;'';
       (B) in paragraph (2) by striking ``and'' at the end of 
     subparagraph (B) and by adding after subparagraph (C) the 
     following:
       ``(D) new budget authority from the Violent Crime Reduction 
     Trust Fund; and
       ``(E) outlays from the Violent Crime Reduction Trust 
     Fund;''; and
       (C) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(4) No double counting.--Amounts allocated among 
     committees under clause (iv) or (v) of paragraph (1)(A) or 
     under subparagraph (D) or (E) of paragraph (2) shall not be 
     included within any other allocation under that paragraph.''.
       (2) Fiscal year 1995.--The chairman of the Committee on the 
     Budget shall submit to the House of Representatives or the 
     Senate, as the case may be, appropriately revised allocations 
     under clauses (iv) and (v) of paragraph (1)(A) or 
     subparagraphs (D) and (E) of paragraph (2) of section 602(a) 
     of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 for fiscal year 1995 
     to carry out subsection (b)(1).

  The chairman of the House Budget Committee submitted allocations 
under this section on September 13. Those allocations appear at pages 
H9155 and H9156 of the Congressional Record of that date.
  Accordingly, I hereby submit the following revised spending 
allocations to the Senate Appropriations Committee for fiscal year 
1995. These allocations are identical to the allocations now in effect, 
except that the amounts specified by the Violent Crime Control and Law 
Enforcement Act have been moved from the general allocations to the new 
special allocations of budget authority and outlays from the violent 
crime reduction trust fund.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
