                      COPS HIRING PROGRAM FUNDING

  Mr. BENNET. Mr. President, I congratulate the senior Senators from 
Maryland and Alabama for their excellent work putting together a 
Commerce, Justice, Science--CJS--appropriations bill that invests in 
critical national priorities. At this moment, I would like to invite 
Chairwoman Mikulski to enter into a colloquy about how important that 
the Community-Oriented Policing Services, COPS, Hiring Program is for 
our local law enforcement personnel. Given the budget shortfalls faced 
by states and local governments, federal resources through the COPS 
program are absolutely essential to ensure that work we are doing 
locally to prevent domestic violence and drug trafficking, for example, 
do not go neglected during this recession. I know Senator Mikulski has 
championed the COPS program, and. I would love to hear more of her 
thoughts.
  Ms. MIKULSKI. Certainly, I thank the Senator for his kind words. As 
the Senator noted, I am a strong supporter of the COPS Hiring Program. 
This year in particular, we faced difficult funding decisions and had 
to juggle a number of priorities because we were trying to make up for 
years of underinvestment in Justice Department programs. That is why 
our fiscal year 2010 CJS spending bill provides $100 million for the

[[Page 26837]]

COPS Hiring Program to put an additional 500 cops on the beat, 
patrolling our streets and protecting our families. As we move forward 
to conference with the House, I expect to hear from Democratic members 
about the need to increase those funds. I intend to do my part in 
conference to see that this program remains a high priority in the 
conference report.
  Mr. BENNET. I agree with the Senator that we need to ensure that our 
law enforcement ranks remain stable. In February, this body took 
significant steps to ensure that our law enforcement maintained its 
ranks through investments made in the American Recovery and 
Reinvestment Act. The stimulus provided $1 billion for the COPS Hiring 
Recovery Program, CHRP, which was intended to help communities hire and 
rehire police officers during the recession. Nearly 7,300 CHRP 
applications requesting over 39,000 officers and $8.3 billion in funds 
were submitted to the COPS Office. Because of limited funds available, 
COPS was able to fund only 1,046--14 percent of the 7,272 CHRP requests 
received during the 2009 solicitation.
  Some local law enforcement in my state are in need of assistance, 
though, and have not been able to get it. In July, the Montrose Police 
Department tragically lost Sgt. David Kinterknecht in a shooting. His 
sacrifice in the line of fire is a testament to the commitment of law 
enforcement in Colorado. Unfortunately, Montrose and some other 
departments in my state were rejected when they applied for the COPS 
Hiring Recovery Program. After the loss of Sergeant Kinterknecht, they 
were not only unable to add to their force, but also could not refill 
their ranks after this tragic death. The Montrose Police Department 
remains an officer short.
  The story of the Montrose Police Department is just one of the many 
challenges faced by law enforcement as they try to protect our 
communities. Denver had to forego pay increases for 2010 and 2011 due 
to shortfalls in the city budget, for example. The city faced layoffs 
and our law enforcement made hard concessions in order to protect 
crucial jobs. Now in addition to making sacrifices in the line of duty, 
law enforcement is making financial sacrifices as our communities 
struggle to stay above water.
  An increase in funding for the COPS Hiring Program would go a long 
way toward helping communities brace with the challenges of the current 
economic crisis.
  Ms. MIKULSKI. I agree that we need to do all we can to help our 
police officers to ensure they are not walking a thin blue line. Our 
cops need a full team to combat violence, protect families, and fight 
the crime that's destroying neighborhoods. The funding provided in the 
stimulus went a long way toward helping put cops back on the beat. It 
is clear that the demand and needs of local communities are high. The 
Senators tireless advocacy for his State's law enforcement is much 
appreciated. The Senator has made his point loud and clear, and I know 
we will continue to hear from him on the importance of the COPS Hiring 
Program as we move into conference.
  Mr. BENNET. I thank the Senator.
  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. President, I rise today to express my support for the 
Senate amendment to H.R. 3288 and to thank my colleagues on the 
Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Subcommittee for their fine work on this bill. I congratulate the 
senior Senator from Maryland, Ms. Mikulski, and the ranking member, Mr. 
Shelby, for crafting legislation that positively impacts the course of 
technology-based innovation, U.S. competitiveness, and scientific 
advances while protecting Americans from terrorism and violent crime.
  In my home State of Maryland, we are fortunate to have many Maryland 
facilities that have crucial roles in the development and advancement 
of science and technology. The Senate amendment provides $878.8 million 
for the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST. NIST 
operates a 234-acre headquarter facility in Gaithersburg, MD, where 
more than 2,500 scientists, engineers, technicians, and support 
personnel are employed. NIST assists industry in developing technology 
to improve product quality, helps modernize manufacturing processes, 
ensure product reliability, and facilitate rapid commercialization of 
products based on scientific discoveries.
  Maryland is also fortunate to be home to several National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric, or NOAA, facilities. The Senate amendment provides $4.77 
billion for NOAA. NOAA provides scientific, technical, and management 
expertise to promote safe and efficient marine and air navigation; 
assess the health of coastal and marine resources; monitor and predict 
the coastal, ocean, and global environments--including weather 
forecasting--and protect and manage the Nation's coastal resources. 
NOAA's significance is strongly felt in Maryland which, with the 
Chesapeake Bay, boasts 4,000 miles of coastal land. The bill funds 
several environmental projects important to Maryland including the 
Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System and NOAA's Chesapeake Bay 
Oyster Restoration, and the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center to name 
a few.
  As we are all acutely aware, the decennial Census will soon be upon 
us. This legislation provides $7.32 billion for the Census Bureau. The 
challenges of the 2010 Census will be unlike any previously 
experienced. Hot button issues such as immigration and healthcare have 
cultivated mistrust of the government and will impede public 
cooperation on the Census. Responses to economic conditions such as 
families whose home have been foreclosed living in recreational 
vehicles or multiple families ``doubling up'' into single family homes 
present even more challenges. However, these challenges simply 
underscore the importance of the Census and the necessity of making 
sure every person counts. The Census count will determine federal 
financial formula allocations. Not in the past seven decades has the 
Census been so significant, economically speaking. And for those who 
question whether their voices are heard on Capitol Hill; the Census 
ensures that they do through the process of reapportionment. It is 
imperative that the 2010 Census count be accurate. I thank the 
appropriators for their attention to this important matter on behalf of 
the nearly 4,300 employees of the U.S. Census Bureau Headquarters in 
Suitland, MD.
  The committee has provided $27.39 billion for the Department of 
Justice. This will fund important grant programs like the Byrne justice 
assistance grants for local law enforcement, and Community Oriented 
Policing Service or COPS grants, and other crime abatement activities. 
The bill combats crime in Maryland by providing funding for programs 
such as the Annapolis Capital City Safe Streets Program and the 
Maryland Department of Juvenile Services Violence Prevention 
Initiative. This bill supports our law enforcement officers who protect 
and serve Americans each day by giving them the resources needed to 
combat and deter violent crimes. In Maryland, this includes the State 
Police First Responder Radio Interoperability Project. The State of 
Maryland has committed to developing a Radio interoperability Project 
that will link State and local law enforcement agencies for 
coordinated, comprehensive protective services.
  I commend Senator Mikulski for boosting funding for the Legal 
Services Corporation, LSC, in this bill, and for removing the 
restrictions on the use of non-LSC funds by LSC grant recipients. 
Lifting this restriction in the law is important, because it allows LSC 
grantees to use their own funds to pursue class action lawsuits and 
attorneys fees. These are critical tools for lawyers to have in their 
arsenal as they fight to protect their low-income clients against 
egregious miscarriages of justice, and help the most vulnerable 
individuals in our society secure equal justice under the law. I 
chaired a hearing in May 2008 in the Judiciary Committee on ``Closing 
the Justice Gap.'' This bill is consistent with many of our witnesses' 
recommendations at the hearing, and also with the underlying 
reauthorization legislation--the Civil

[[Page 26838]]

Access to Justice Act--filed by Senators Kennedy, Harkin, and me in 
March 2009. I am also pleased that the House has introduced legislation 
to reauthorize LSC, and look forward to working with the Obama 
administration and my colleagues in Congress to enact both the LSC 
appropriations and reauthorization legislation in this Congress.
  In closing, again let me say how much I appreciate the work of 
Senator Mikulski, Senator Shelby, and their staffs along with the rest 
of the subcommittee. In addition to providing for critical law 
enforcement needs, they have crafted a bill that spurs American 
interests in science and technology forward; making way for American 
innovation in the global economy. I find that quite impressive and I 
support this bill.
  Mr. AKAKA. Mr. President, I support the Commerce, Justice, Science, 
and Related Agencies appropriations bill for fiscal year 2010. This 
bill's priorities will protect America from terrorism and violent 
crime; create jobs for Americans by investing in the Nation's 
scientific infrastructure and in new technologies; and ensure a timely 
and accurate 2010 decennial census.
  In Hawaii, as in the rest of the Nation, sexual and domestic violence 
unfortunately persists, bringing with it the need for programs and 
services that address such violence and meet the needs of victims. For 
nearly four decades, the Sexual Assault Response Services of the Hawaii 
County and Kauai County YWCAs, have offered a 24/7 sexual assault 
hotline, 24/7 on-call crisis intervention, and support for victims of 
sexual assault and violence through the medical examination and legal 
services process, individual/group therapeutic counseling, and case 
management. I am therefore thankful that this bill includes $400,000 to 
enable the Hawaii and Kauai County YWCAs to continue their critically 
needed services.
  Like other political jurisdictions across the Nation, Hawaii has 
pursued collaborative, community based delinquency prevention programs 
targeted to at-risk youth. To address this need the bill includes 
$300,000 for Ka Wili Pu (Native Hawaiian for ``the blend'') a project 
that would provide 400 at-risk youth on Maui with adult guidance and 
adult role models and one-on-one instruction to bolster their self-
esteem, self-confidence, school attendance, and academic performance 
and dissuade them from becoming truants and dropouts. By encouraging 
at-risk youth to remain in school, fulfill their promise, and avoid a 
problematic future with few meaningful options, Ka Wili Pu promotes a 
healthier and more stable society.
  Recognizing that children and elderly adults can become lost and 
disoriented in the urban and suburban areas of Hawaii, $500,000 is 
provided for A Child Is Missing--ACIM--Hawaii. ACIM currently operates 
in 49 States but not in Hawaii, where its advanced telephone-based 
computer system only recently became available. That system can place 
1,000 phone calls every 60 seconds to residences and businesses in the 
area where a missing child or adult was last seen. This initiative will 
provide that critical rapid response to assist law enforcement agencies 
in Hawaii to locate missing children and adults.
  I am also pleased that $500,000 was included in this legislation for 
the State Courts Improvement Initiative of the National Center or to 
Courts, NCSC. The NCSC was founded in 1971 by the Conference of Chief 
Justices, CCJ, the Conference of State Court Administrators, COSCA, and 
former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. Today, the 
NCSC serves as a think tank, forum, and voice for 30,000 judges, and 
20,000 courthouses, in the State court system in the 50 States, DC, 
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa, where 
annually 98 percent of court filings are submitted. This request funds 
the implementation of the NCSC's State Courts Improvement Initiative, 
which will increase support services to judges, administrators and 
other personnel in the state court system. Improving the operations of 
the state courts will help shape Americans' understanding of and 
confidence in the Nation's judicial system.
  Because there may be Hawaii prisoners with credible claims to actual 
innocence who have exhausted their appellate rights and their rights to 
counsel, the bill includes $300,000 for the Hawaii Innocence Project. 
Founded in 2005 by Hawaii attorneys in partnership with the William S. 
Richardson School of Law, this project, in which law students work 
alongside practicing criminal defense attorneys, provides pro bono 
assistance to Hawaii prisoners who no longer have access to legal 
resources but who may be innocent of the crimes for which they were 
convicted, and whose innocence may now be proven through technology 
unavailable at the time of their trials. The possible exoneration of 
any wrongfully convicted individual will help to serve the cause of 
justice.
  The Violence Against Women Act, VAWA, acknowledges that immigrant 
women, particularly indigent women, are a specific and often overlooked 
at-risk group. In Hawaii, the Hawaii Immigrant Justice Center, HIJC, is 
the only agency providing pro bono civil legal services to indigent 
immigrants, particularly immigrant women who are victims of sexual 
assault and domestic violence. For many years, the HIJC has coordinated 
and delivered comprehensive assistance to indigent immigrant women 
through a cost-effective delivery of legal, medical, psychological, and 
social services that would otherwise have required the intervention of 
a range of other public agencies and at far greater cost. I am pleased 
that this bill includes $200,000 for the HIJC to enable the agency to 
continue to perform its good work, which not only assists immigrant 
victims of sexual violence but places them on a path to self-
sufficiency that will, in time and over the long term, mitigate the 
effects of crime and promote family and social stability.
  All in all, the fiscal year 2010 Department of Justice-related 
appropriations will help Hawaii to discourage delinquency and crime, 
bring criminals to justice, address and meet the needs of victims, and 
promote a fairer and more just society.
  Funding included in this bill also bolsters advancements in science 
and technology, as well as enhances U.S. competitiveness. I am proud to 
have worked with Senator Inouye to secure resources that support 
ecosystem based management, preserve the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal, 
strengthen our understanding of climate change, improve warning systems 
for public safety, and further science education at the 'Imiloa 
Astronomy Center. These programs will inform our decisions on how we 
manage our resources, as well as understand and interact with our 
natural environment.
  Maintaining healthy ecosystems that extend into our oceans is 
important. Coral reef ecosystems provide benefits by protecting coastal 
communities, sustaining fisheries, and preserving biodiversity. 
Hawaii's coral reefs generate more than $360 million a year on reef 
related tourism and fisheries activities. To ensure this natural 
resource is preserved, $2.250 million is provided in this bill to 
conduct studies that will enable scientists to develop predictive 
management tools for the conservation and management of healthy coral 
reef ecosystems in Hawaii and develop best practices to restore reefs 
where human related activities result in reef ecosystem decline. This 
initiative will help ensure that these reefs are protected and managed 
well, while also empowering coastal communities across the country to 
minimize human impact on our reefs.
  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will receive $4 
million in this bill to continue the implementation of the Hawaiian 
monk seal recovery plan. The Hawaiian monk seal, endemic to Hawaii, is 
the most endangered seal in the country and one of the most endangered 
marine mammals in the world. In the last 50 years the Hawaiian monk 
seal population has fallen by 60 percent, with a current population of 
less than 1,200 individual seals. Funding will address female and 
juvenile monk seal survival and enhancement, as well as efforts to 
minimize monk seal mortality. Further,

[[Page 26839]]

these funds will strengthen coordinated regional office efforts for 
field response teams and enhance implementation of the 2007 recovery 
plan.
  We know that there are significant effects of climate change, 
especially in Hawaii and the Pacific region. As island communities, sea 
level rise, coral bleaching, and severe weather associated with climate 
change have unique impacts on the public safety, economic development, 
and health of our ecosystems and wildlife. Fortunately, $1.5 million is 
provided in the bill for the International Pacific Research Center at 
the University of Hawaii to conduct systematic and reliable 
climatographic research for the Pacific. Improving our understanding of 
climate variability empowers us to use data and models to mitigate 
adverse impacts.
  Given Hawaii's geographic isolation, having warning systems in place 
to address public safety needs is critical. In order to focus on 
response and preparedness needs, I worked to ensure that $2 million was 
provided to foster the development of infrasound as a warning tool for 
natural hazards. As a joint initiative by the University of Hawaii and 
University of Mississippi, infrasound technology has the potential to 
minimize the catastrophic human and economic loss resulting from a 
natural disaster. The objective is to develop technologies for 
infrasound warning systems for emergency organizations and traffic 
control agencies. Potential applications of infrasound monitoring may 
include volcanic eruptions, gulf coast hurricane tracking, tsunami 
infrasound warning, acoustic monitoring of ocean swells, infrasonic 
tornado detection, and other natural disasters such as avalanches and 
wild fires. Development of this technology and lessons learned can help 
enhance existing warning systems nationwide.
  Developing interest in science by our Nation's youth at an early age 
ensures that they are better prepared to pursue and excel in the fields 
of science, technology, engineering, and math. In an effort to 
cultivate a life-long interest in science and learning, $2.5 million is 
provided to expand astronomy and culture exhibits, as well as to 
develop community and educational programming at the Imiloa Astronomy 
Center. This endeavor is a joint initiative supported by partners 
including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and 
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This program will serve as a model that 
integrates university/research institution resources with community 
learning needs using the center as a catalyst to engage and educate 
students and the general community. Further, this initiative increases 
public understanding and enjoyment of science research, while 
supporting the national priority of attracting more students into 
science and technology related fields.
  In conclusion, I would like to thank the senior Senator from Hawaii 
and the senior Senator from Mississippi, the chairman and ranking 
member, respectively, of the Appropriations Committee, as well as the 
senior Senator from Maryland and the senior Senator from Alabama, the 
Chairwoman and ranking member, respectively, for the Appropriations 
Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, for 
their support in funding these important priorities for Hawaii and for 
their efforts in developing and managing this bill through the 
legislative process.

     transfer made by, or transfer authority provided in, this Act 
     or any other appropriations Act.
       Sec. 515.  Any funds provided in this Act used to implement 
     E-Government Initiatives shall be subject to the procedures 
     set forth in section 505 of this Act.
       Sec. 516. (a) Tracing studies conducted by the Bureau of 
     Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are released 
     without adequate disclaimers regarding the limitations of the 
     data.
       (b) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives 
     shall include in all such data releases, language similar to 
     the following that would make clear that trace data cannot be 
     used to draw broad conclusions about firearms-related crime:
       (1) Firearm traces are designed to assist law enforcement 
     authorities in conducting investigations by tracking the sale 
     and possession of specific firearms. Law enforcement agencies 
     may request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons 
     are not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not 
     all firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms 
     traced are used in crime.
       (2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for 
     purposes of determining which types, makes, or models of 
     firearms are used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected 
     do not constitute a random sample and should not be 
     considered representative of the larger universe of all 
     firearms used by criminals, or any subset of that universe. 
     Firearms are normally traced to the first retail seller, and 
     sources reported for firearms traced do not necessarily 
     represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general 
     are acquired for use in crime.
       Sec. 517. (a) The Inspectors General of the Department of 
     Commerce, the Department of Justice, the National Aeronautics 
     and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, 
     and the Legal Services Corporation shall conduct audits, 
     pursuant to the Inspector General Act (5 U.S.C. App.), of 
     grants or contracts for which funds are appropriated by this 
     Act, and shall submit reports to Congress on the progress of 
     such audits, which may include preliminary findings and a 
     description of areas of particular interest, within 180 days 
     after initiating such an audit and every 180 days thereafter 
     until any such audit is completed.
       (b) Within 60 days after the date on which an audit 
     described in subsection (a) by an Inspector General is 
     completed, the Secretary, Attorney General, Administrator, 
     Director, or President, as appropriate, shall make the 
     results of the audit available to the public on the Internet 
     website maintained by the Department, Administration, 
     Foundation, or Corporation, respectively. The results shall 
     be made available in redacted form to exclude--
       (1) any matter described in section 552(b) of title 5, 
     United States Code; and
       (2) sensitive personal information for any individual, the 
     public access to which could be used to commit identity theft 
     or for other inappropriate or unlawful purposes.
       (c) A grant or contract funded by amounts appropriated by 
     this Act may not be used for the purpose of defraying the 
     costs of a banquet or conference that is not directly and 
     programmatically related to the purpose for which the grant 
     or contract was awarded, such as a banquet or conference held 
     in connection with planning, training, assessment, review, or 
     other routine purposes related to a project funded by the 
     grant or contract.
       (d) Any person awarded a grant or contract funded by 
     amounts appropriated by this Act shall submit a statement to 
     the Secretary of Commerce, the Attorney General, the 
     Administrator, Director, or President, as appropriate, 
     certifying that no funds derived from the grant or contract 
     will be made available through a subcontract or in any other 
     manner to another person who has a financial interest in the 
     person awarded the grant or contract.
       (e) The provisions of the preceding subsections of this 
     section shall take effect 30 days after the date on which the 
     Director of the Office of Management and Budget, in 
     consultation with the Director of the Office of Government 
     Ethics, determines that a uniform set of rules and 
     requirements, substantially similar to the requirements in 
     such subsections, consistently apply under the executive 
     branch ethics program to all Federal departments, agencies, 
     and entities.
       Sec. 518.  None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made

     treaty, none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
     available under this Act or any other Act may be expended or 
     obligated by a department, agency, or instrumentality of the 
     United States to pay administrative expenses or to compensate 
     an officer or employee of the United States in connection 
     with requiring an export license for the export to Canada of 
     components, parts, accessories or attachments for firearms 
     listed in Category I, section 121.1 of title 22, Code of 
     Federal Regulations (International Trafficking in Arms 
     Regulations (ITAR), part 121, as it existed on April 1, 2005) 
     with a total value not exceeding $500 wholesale in any 
     transaction, provided that the conditions of subsection (b) 
     of this section are met by the exporting party for such 
     articles.
       (b) The foregoing exemption from obtaining an export 
     license--
       (1) does not exempt an exporter from filing any Shipper's 
     Export Declaration or notification letter required by law, or 
     from being otherwise eligible under the laws of the United 
     States to possess, ship, transport, or export the articles 
     enumerated in subsection (a); and
       (2) does not permit the export without a license of--
       (A) fully automatic firearms and components and parts for 
     such firearms, other than for end use by the Federal 
     Government, or a Provincial or Municipal Government of 
     Canada;

     of Customs and postmasters shall permit the permanent or 
     temporary export without a license of any unclassified 
     articles specified in subsection (a) to Canada for end use in 
     Canada or return to the United States, or temporary import of 
     Canadian-origin items from Canada for end use in the United 
     States or return to Canada for a Canadian citizen.
       (d) The President may require export licenses under this 
     section on a temporary basis if the President determines, 
     upon publication first in the Federal Register, that the 
     Government of Canada has implemented or maintained inadequate 
     import controls for the articles specified in subsection (a), 
     such that a significant diversion of such articles has and 
     continues to take place for use in international terrorism or 
     in the escalation of a conflict in another nation. The 
     President shall terminate the requirements of a license when 
     reasons for the temporary requirements have ceased.
       Sec. 521.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no 
     department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States 
     receiving appropriated funds under this Act or any other Act 
     shall obligate or expend in any way such funds to pay 
     administrative expenses or the compensation of any officer or 
     employee of the United States to deny any application 
     submitted pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B) and qualified 
     pursuant to 27 CFR section 478.112 or .113, for a permit to

     validating that the project's management structure is
