SA 889. Mrs. FEINSTEIN (for herself, Mrs. McCaskill, and Mr. Booker)
submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to the concurrent
resolution S. Con. Res. 11, setting forth the congressional budget for
the United States Government for fiscal year 2016 and setting forth the

was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
At the end of title III, add the following:

OFFICERS.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution
for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments,
amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports
relating to community policing, which may include increasing
the number of law enforcement officers who walk patrols that
enable them to interact and build relationships with
community members, increasing and improving training for law
enforcement officers, encouraging the use of body cameras by
law enforcement officers, encouraging law enforcement to de-
escalate confrontations whenever feasible, and ensuring that
prosecutions of law enforcement officers are fair and
impartial, by the amounts provided in such legislation for
those purposes, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over either the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
