government that has submitted an application under this title not later 
than--

        ``(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the Director shall 
        adjust a payment under this title to a unit of local government

        paid.

        under this subsection a payment to a unit of local government 
        only if the Director determines the need for the increase or

        a payment was made.
``(e) Reservation for Adjustment.--The Director may reserve a 
percentage of not more than 2 percent of the amount under this section

        ``(1) Repayment required.--A unit of local government shall

        be repaid is not repaid, the Director shall reduce payment in 
        future payment periods accordingly.

        government.

``(a) State Set-aside.--
        ``(1) In general.--Of the total amounts appropriated for this 
        title for each payment period, the Director shall allocate for 
        units of local government in each State an amount that bears 
        the same ratio to such total as the average annual number of 
        part 1 violent crimes reported by such State to the Federal 
        Bureau of Investigation for the 3 most recent calendar years 
        for which such data is available, bears to the number of part 1 
        violent crimes reported by all States to the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation for such years.
        ``(2) Minimum requirement.--Each State shall receive not less 
        than .25 percent of the total amounts appropriated under 
        section 102 under this subsection for each payment period.
        ``(3) Proportional reduction.--If amounts available to carry 
        out paragraph (2) for any payment period are insufficient to 
        pay in full the total payment that any State is otherwise 
        eligible to receive under paragraph (1) for such period, then 
        the Director shall reduce payments under paragraph (1) for such 
        payment period to the extent of such insufficiency. Reductions 
        under the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the 
        States (other than States whose payment is determined under 
        paragraph (2)) in the same proportions as amounts would be 
        allocated under paragraph (1) without regard to paragraph (2).
``(b) Local Distribution.--
        ``(1) In general.--From the amount reserved for each State 
        under subsection (a), the Director shall allocate--
                ``(A) among reporting units of local government the 
                reporting units' share of such reserved amount, and
                ``(B) among nonreporting units of local government the 
                nonreporting units' share of the reserved amount.
        ``(2) Amounts.--
                ``(A) The reporting units' share of the reserved amount 
                is the amount equal to the product of such reserved 
                amount multiplied by the percentage which the 
                population living in reporting units of local 
                government in the State bears to the population of all 
                units of local government in the State.
                ``(B) The nonreporting units' share of the reserved 
                amount is the reserved amount reduced by the reporting 
                units' share of the reserved amount.
        ``(3) Allocation to each reporting unit.--From the reporting 
        units' share of the reserved amount for each State under 
        subsection (a), the Director shall allocate to each reporting 
        unit of local government an amount which bears the same ratio 
        to such share as the average annual number of part 1 violent 
        crimes reported by such unit to the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation for the 3 most recent calendar years for which 
        such data is available bears to the number of part 1 violent 
        crimes reported by all units of local government in the State 
        in which the unit is located to the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation for such years.
        ``(4) Allocation to each nonreporting unit.--From the 
        nonreporting units' share of the reserved amount for each State 
        under subsection (a), the Director shall allocate to each 
        nonreporting unit of local government an amount which bears the 
        same ratio to such share as the average number of part 1 
        violent crimes of like governmental units in the same 
        population class as such unit bears to the average annual 
        imputed number of part 1 violent crimes of all nonreporting 
        units in the State for the 3 most recent calendar years.
        ``(5) Limitation on allocations.--A unit of local government 
        shall not receive an allocation which exceeds 100 percent of 
        such unit's expenditures on law enforcement services as 
        reported by the Bureau of the Census for the most recent fiscal 
        year. Any amount in excess of 100 percent of such unit's 
        expenditures on law enforcement services shall be distributed 
        proportionally among units of local government whose allocation 
        does not exceed 100 percent of expenditures on law enforcement

                          Purpose and Summary

    The Local Government Law Enforcement Block Grants Act of 
1995 represents an important step by this Congress to assist 
local governments throughout the country confront crime. And--
in stark contrast to the Violent Crime Control and Law 
Enforcement Act of 1994--it does so without prescribing the 
specific programs that localities must implement in order to 
receive funding. H.R. 728 provides resources for localities to 
respond to their unique crime problems with their own 
solutions. It represents more funds and greater flexibility for 
the vast majority of localities throughout America than was 
provided by last year's crime bill.
    The Federal government does have a role in assisting the 
states fight crime. But such assistance must appreciate that 
the problems vary from state to state and community to 
community. This Act avoids a one-size-fits-all approach, even 
as it refrains from micro-management.
    Many have argued that community policing should be a 
primary tool for combatting crime. Others disagree with them. 
Under H.R. 728, communities are free to make that decision for 
themselves. The Act leaves to local governments the decision 
regarding what their funding priorities should be. It neither 
requires that funds be spent on police officers, nor on 
prevention programs. It leaves that decision to local 
government officials, who best understand their own 
communities' crime problems. The Act simply requires that grant 
funds be used to reduce crime and improve public safety.
    At the same time, H.R. 728 ensures that there is fiscal and 
programmatic accountability as grant funds are utilized. It 
requires units of local government to establish a local 
advisory board to make non-binding recommendations to units for 
the use of funds received under this Act. The advisory board's 
membership must include a representative from the local police 
department or sheriff's office, the local prosecutor's office, 
the court system, the local public school system, and a local 
community group active in crime prevention. The advisory board 
provision ensures that a range of views will be considered as 
localities' apply for grant funds, and that public scrutiny 
will be directed at each localities' application as it is being 
completed.
    H.R. 728 repeals title I of the 1994 Crime Act--the 
``Public Safety and Policing'' section--and replaces it with a 
block grant program to provide funds directly to units of local 
government to assist them in their efforts to improve public 
safety. The grant funds may be used by localities for any 
purpose that reduces crime and improves public safety, and that 
is otherwise consistent with the Act's provisions. H.R. 728 
provides maximum flexibility to localities while ensuring that 
funds are used to fight crime.
    The Act requires that grant funds supplement and not 
supplant state or local funds. It does not, however, require 
that units of local government provide matching funds.
    H.R. 728 authorizes a total of $10 billion for block grants 
over five years, with $2 billion to be distributed in each of 
fiscal years 1996 through 2000. Each year $2 billion is divided 
among the fifty states and territories for distribution 
directly to units of local government, which can apply for 
funds each fiscal year. The formula for determining grant 
amounts is based on the severity of crime and the population of 
a locality.
    H.R. 728 represents a commitment by the Federal government 
to assist localities in dealing with crime, without getting in 
their way. It provides resources for the counties, cities and 
towns of America to develop local solutions to their unique 
crime problems.

                Background and Need for the Legislation

    The overwhelming majority of crime falls within state and 
local jurisdictions. As a result, it falls preeminently to 
states and localities to combat crime.
    The federal government's challenge, therefore, is to assist 
localities fight crime without getting in their way. And any 
support from Washington must appreciate that communities face 
many different types of crime.
    While community policing is now utilized in a number of 
cities, it is not the general practice. Many localities are 
unprepared financially and logistically to initiate such an 
approach to policing. As a result, the community policing 
program in Title I of the Violent Crime Control and Law 
Enforcement Act of 1994 was only an option for a limited number 
of localities. Many were unable to meet the 25 percent matching 
requirement, and were left watching more affluent communities 
benefit. H.R. 728 repeals the community policing program in the 
1994 Crime Act, making resources available to all localities to 
fight crime based on their own program priorities.
    While there is general agreement that crime prevention must 
be a vital part of any comprehensive response to crime, there 
is little agreement about what crime prevention programs 
actually work. There remains little systematic evidence that 
any particular prevention program can be widely replicated with 
success.
    In stark contrast to the 1994 Crime Act, H.R. 728 does not 
limit the assistance available to communities to federally-
specified prevention programs. It repudiates the ``Washington 
knows best'' mindset that has too often characterized federal 
efforts to assist localities.

                                Hearings

    The Committee's Subcommittee on Crime held two days of 
hearings on H.R. 3 on January 19 and 20, 1995. The Act is 
nearly identical to Title IV in H.R. 3.
    On the issue of local government block grants, testimony 
was received from three witnesses: The Honorable Victor Ashe, 
Mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee, and President of the U.S. 
Council of Mayors; The Honorable Robert H. Macy, District 
Attorney of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; The Honorable Carl Peed, 
Sheriff of Fairfax County, Virginia.
    On the issue of crime prevention, testimony was received 
from Professor John DiIulio, Professor at Princeton University 
and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution; Lynn A. Curtis, 
President of the Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation; Bennie R. 
Click, Chief of Police, Dallas Police Department; and The 
Honorable Richard Gebelein, Judge, Superior Court, State of 
Delaware, and former Attorney General of Delaware.

                        Committee Consideration

    On February 2, 1995 the Committee met in open session and

               Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate

    In compliance with clause 2(l)(C)(3) of rule XI of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee sets 
forth, with respect to the bill, H.R. 667, the following 
estimate and comparison prepared by the Director of the 
Congressional Budget Office under section 403 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                  Washington, DC, February 8, 1995.
Hon. Henry J. Hyde,
Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 728, the Local 
Government Law Enforcement Block Grants Act of 1995.
    Enactment of H.R. 728 would not affect direct spending or 
receipts. Therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would not apply 
to the bill.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them.
            Sincerely,
                                              James L. Blum
                                        (For Robert D. Reischauer).
    Enclosure.

               Congressional budget office cost estimate

    1. Bill number: H.R. 728.
    2. Bill title: Local Government Law Enforcement Block 
Grants Act of 1995.
    3. Bill status: As ordered reported by the House Committee 
on the Judiciary on February 2, 1995.
    4. Bill purpose: H.R. 728 would authorize appropriations of 
$2 billion for each of fiscal years 1996 through 2000 for 
grants to state and local governments to reduce crime and 
improve public safety. Grants could be used in a variety of 
ways, including hiring more police officers, improving school 
security, and establishing local crime prevention programs. 
This legislation would replace Title I of the Violent Crime 
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (the 1994 crime bill). 
Title I of the 1994 crime bill authorized funds mostly for 
hiring more police. H.R. 728 also would repeal 12 programs of 
the 1994 crime bill, most of which provided funding for 
education and treatment programs.
    5. Estimated cost to the Federal Government: H.R. 728 would 
increase the authorization of appropriations for public safety 
and policing grants in the 1994 crime bill from $7.5 billion to 
$10 billion over the 1996-2000 period. At the same time, H.R. 
728 would repeal existing authorizations of $3.9 billion for a 
variety of other crime bill programs. Thus, H.R. 728 would 
result in a net decrease in authorizations of appropriations of 
$1.4 billion dollars over the 1996-2000 period. The following 
table provides year-by-year authorization estimates.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The costs of this bill fall within budget function 750.
    For purposes of this estimate, CBO assumes that the amounts 
authorized by the bill would be appropriated for each fiscal 
year and that outlays would reflect the historical spending 
patterns of similar grant programs.
    6. Comparison with spending under current law: Fiscal year 
1995 appropriations for public safety and policing grants 
authorized in the 1994 crime bill total $1.3 billion, and 
appropriations for treatment-related programs total $48 
million. H.R. 728 would authorize larger aggregate amounts in 
subsequent years for grant programs in these areas. The 
following table provides a comparison of the current-year 
appropriation with the gross authorizations contained in H.R. 
728.

    7. Pay-as-you-go considerations: None.
    8. Estimated cost to State and local governments: 
Recipients of some of the grants authorized in the 1994 crime 
bill were required to fund a certain percentage, usually 25 
percent, of the cost of the projects for which the grants were 
intended. Assuming that all amounts authorized in the 1994 
crime bill were appropriated for each year, CBO estimates that 
the resulting costs to State and local governments would be 
about $2.4 billion over the 1996-2000 period. This figure 
represents a potential savings to State and local governments 
if H.R. 728 were enacted, since this bill contains no State or 
local match requirements.
    9. Cost comparison: None.
    10. Previous CBO estimate: None.
    11. Estimate prepared by: Mark Grabowicz.
    12. Estimate approved by: Paul N. Van de Water, Assistant 
Director for Budget Analysis.

                     Inflationary Impact Statement

    Pursuant to clause 2(l)(4) of rule XI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee estimates that H.J. 
Res. 1 will have no significant inflationary impact on prices 
and costs in the national economy.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis

    Section 1. Short Title.--Section 1 of the bill states the 
short title as the ``Local Government Law Enforcement Block 
Grants Act of 1995.''
    Section 2. Block Grant Program.--This section repeals Title 
I--``Public Safety and Policing''--of the Violent Crime Control 
and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.

                 title i--law enforcement block grants

    Sec. 101. Payments to Local Governments.--This section 
requires the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) 
to make grants directly to units of local government for 
reducing crime and improving public safety. The use of grant 
funds includes, but is not limited to, various purposes 
identified in subsection (a)(2). Such purposes include: 
equipping and paying law enforcement officers and support 
personnel; enhancing school security measures; enhancing the 
adjudication process of cases involving violent offenders; 
establishing and supporting drug courts; and establishing crime 
prevention programs.
    It is important to note that units of local government may 
use funds awarded under this title for purposes other than 
those explicitly described, so long as they are used to reduce 
crime and improve public safety, and meet the other 
requirements of this title.
    Subsection 101(b) prohibits a unit of local government from 
expending funds awarded under this title on purchasing, 
leasing, renting, or otherwise acquiring: tanks or armored 
personnel carriers; fixed wing aircraft; limousines; real 
estate; or yachts. An exception to this general prohibition is 
provided where there are extraordinary and exigent 
circumstances, as certified by the U.S. Attorney General, which 
make the use of funds for such purposes essential to public 
safety. It must be noted that the provision requires the U.S. 
Attorney General to certify the use of funds under this title 
for the rental of a limousine for purposes of an undercover 
drug operation.
    Subsection (c) requires the Director of BJA to make awards 
to localities that submit applications under this title, 
either: (1) within 90 days after the date that the amount is 
available; or (2) by the first day of the payment period if the 
locality has met all the application requirements listed in 
section 103(d), whichever date is later.
    Subsection (e) authorizes the Director of BJA to withhold 
in reserve up to 2 percent of a state set-aside to ensure the 
availability of funds after any adjustments in unit allocations 
have been made.
    Subsection (f) requires units to repay to the Director of 
BJA any funds awarded under this title which are not used 
within 27 months after the receipt of such funds.
    Subsection (g) requires that grant funds supplement and not 
supplant state or local funds.
    Sec. 102. Authorization of Appropriations.--This section 
authorizes $10 billion to be appropriated for law enforcement 
block grants over five years, $2 billion in each of fiscal 
years 1996 through 2000. Subsection (b) permits up to 2.5 
percent of the total appropriation under section 102 to be 
available to the Director of BJA for carrying out the purposes 
of this title.
    Sec. 103. Qualification For Payment.--Under this section, 
in order to qualify for payments, units of local government 
must submit an application to BJA which satisfies the Director 
of the following: (1) The unit has established a local advisory 
board that includes representation from the local police 
department or sheriff's office, the local prosecutor's office, 
the local court system, the local public school system, and a 
local nonprofit, educational, religious, or community group; 
the board has reviewed the application and has made non-binding 
recommendations to the unit for the use of funds received under 
this title; (2) the chief executive officer of the state has 
had not less than 45 days to review and comment on the 
application; (3) A trust fund will be established for the 
deposit of grant funds; (4) Funds will be used within two years 
of receipt; (5) Funds will be expended consistent with 
applicable revenue laws and procedures; (6) Approved accounting 
and audit procedures will be used; (7) Records will be 
available for review; (8) Progress reports will be made; and 
(9) Funds will be used consistent with the purposes of this 
title.
    Subsection (d) provides noncompliant units an opportunity 
to take corrective action.
    Sec. 104. Allocation and Distribution of Funds.--Under 
subsection (a)(1), the funding amount set aside for a state's 
units of local government is determined by the number of 
violent crimes in that state compared to the rest of the 
country.
    The number of violent crimes is based on part 1 violent 
crimes reported by the states to the Federal Bureau of 
Investigations. The number used to compute the state set-aside 
is the average annual number of such crimes for the 3 most 
recent calendar years for which the data is available.
    Under subsection (a)(2), no state's set-aside is to be less 
than .25 percent of the total appropriation (i.e., $5,000,000 
if the appropriation is $2 billion). Under subsection (a)(3), 
all state set-asides which are above the .25 percent minimum 
are reduced proportionately to ensure that all states receive 
the minimum funding.
    Subsection (b) provides the method by which funds are to be 
distributed directly to the units of local government. Most but 
not all units of local government report crime. The smaller the 
unit, the greater the probability that it does not report 
crime. The challenge when making a grant on the basis of crime 
is to accurately impute a crime number to a non-reporting unit. 
The formula by which this is done is described in subsections 
(b)(2) through (b)(4).
    Subsection (b)(1) provides that the state set-aside is 
divided into two categories of funds: (A) The category for 
reporting units; and (B) The category for non-reporting units. 
Subsection (b)(2) provides that the total amount allocated for 
the reporting units category is based on the ratio of the 
population living in all reporting units to the population of 
all units in the state. The total amount allocated for the non-
reporting units category is the balance of the state set-aside.
    Subsection (b)(3) provides that each reporting unit 
receives an amount from the reporting units category which 
bears the ratio of its number of violent crimes to the number 
of all violent crimes in all the reporting units in the state. 
Subsection (b)(4) provides that each non-reporting unit 
receives an amount from the non-reporting units category which 
bears the ratio of the average number of violent crimes of 
``like governmental units'' in the same ``population class'' to 
the average imputed number of violent crimes in all non-
reporting units in the state. A ``like governmental unit'' is 
any like unit of local government as defined by the Secretary 
of Commerce for general statistical purposes (i.e., all 
counties are like governmental units; all cities are like 
governmental units; all townships are treated as like 
governmental units.) The term ``same population class'' refers 
to a unit within the same population category as another unit.
    By imputing a crime number based on the average of ``like 
units'' in the ``same population class'' rather than just on 
the average of all units, the likelihood is much higher that 
the imputed number will be closer to the actual number of 
crimes.
    Again, the number of violent crimes is based on part 1 
violent crimes reported by the units to the Federal Bureau of 
Investigations, and is the average annual number of such crimes 
for the 3 most recent calendar years for which the data is 
available.
    Subsection (B)(5) provides a constraint on awards so as to 
avoid certain funding anomalies. So as to avoid the result of a 
very small unit--which spends little addressing crime--
receiving an excessively large award, that it would be ill-
equipped to manage, no allocation to any unit can exceed 100 
percent of such unit's law enforcement expenditures.
    Subsection (b)(7) provides that if a unit of local 
government would have received less than $10,000 for the one 
year payment period, those funds are transferred to the state's 
chief executive who is to distribute them among those units 
within the state that would have received less than $10,000, 
and in a manner which improves public safety.
    Subsection (b)(8) makes provision for units which are 
incorporated or annexed since the date of collection of data.
    Subsection (c) requires the Director of BJA, in cases where 
data regarding part 1 violent crimes is unavailable, to use the 
best available comparable data.
    Sec. 105. Utilization of Private Sector.--This section 
allows funds received under this title to be used to contract 
with private nonprofit entities or community-based 
organizations to carry out the purposes of this title.
    Sec. 106. Public Participation.--This section requires 
units receiving grant funds under this title to hold at least 
one public hearing on the proposed use of such funds.
    Sec. 107. Administrative Provisions.--This section makes 
applicable to this title all of the administrative provisions 
of part H of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 
1968.
    Sec. 108. Definitions.--This section defines terms used 
throughout this title. It further provides conforming 
amendments. Subsection (b)(1) provides for the repeal of part Q 
of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act--
the 1994 Crime Act's ``Public Safety and Community Policing'' 
program. But subsection (b)(2) provides that any funds that 
remain available to an applicant under the 1994 Crime Act's 
``Public Safety and Community Policing'' program are to be used 
consistent with the statutory provision under which such funds 
were awarded, and that were in effect prior to this title being 
enacted.
    Sec. 3. Conforming Amendments.--This section includes 
additional conforming amendments, and explicitly repeals a 
range of programs from title III of the 1994 Crime Act, while 
providing that any funds under such programs that remain 
available to an applicant are to be used consistent with the 
statutory provision under which such funds were awarded, and 
that were in effect prior to this title being enacted. Such 
programs include: the ``Ounce of Prevention Council'' program; 
the ``Family and Community Endeavor Schools Grant Program;'' 
the ``Local Partnership Act'' program; and the ``Gang 
Resistance and Education Training'' program.

                              Agency Views

    The Committee received a letter from the U.S. Department of 
Justice providing Administration views on H.R. 3, the Taking 
Back Our Streets Act of 1995. This letter addressed the issues 
presented in H.R. 728 in pertinent as follows:
    While the administration supports efforts to advance our 
federal attack on crime, we strongly oppose efforts to undo or 
repeal the important gains made in last year's bill. In other 
words, while we support efforts to enhance, supplement, and 
carry further the important reforms achieved in the 1994 Act, 
we vigorously oppose efforts to take us back or reverse the 
gains that have already been made. Proposals to reverse the 
progress started by the bipartisan efforts of the Congress and 
the President threaten to undermine the ongoing work of 
federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to make our 
streets and neighborhoods safer.
    Specifically, we strenuously oppose provisions of H.R. 3 
that would fundamentally alter the Public Safety Partnership 
and Community Policing Act (``COPS'') program and the prison 
funding program, and that indiscriminately repeal most of the 
crime prevention programs in the 1994 Act. It would be a tragic 
mistake to repeal a program to put 100,000 new police officers 
on the streets, and replace it with a plan to pass out $10 
billion of taxpayers' funds with no assurance that any specific 
improvement in public safety will result. To draw upon a phrase 
too often misused during last year's debates, the proposal to 
replace the 100,000 cops program with a fuzzy plan that 
authorizes spending $10 billion for any purported ``crime 
reduction'' purpose is a plan for ``super pork'' of the first 
order.
    Similarly, it would be foolish to slash virtually all of 
the bipartisan crime prevention programs included in the 1994 
Act. It is mystifying why anyone would advance an ill-advised 
proposal to repeal wholesale programs supported by police, 
prosecutors, and parents that implement common sense measures 
to protect our children from crime--such as keeping schools 
open after hours and on weekends as safe havens, or getting 
tough on drug abusing offenders through coerced abstinence and 
mandatory drug-testing. While these programs account for about 
one-fifth of the Act's funding, in the view of police officers 
around the country, they are a critical aspect of the Act's 
comprehensive attack on crime.
    The proposals to repeal or fundamentally revise these 
programs in H.R. 3 are in many respects illogical and 
ineffective, and would disserve anti-crime objectives. Passage 
of these aspects of H.R. 3 would mean fewer police officers on 
the streets, fewer violent criminals behind bars, and 
significantly less assistance to state and local governments 
that are trying to take proactive measures to prevent crime.
    In sum, while there are some aspects of H.R. 3 that would 
be helpful to law enforcement and our anti-crime efforts, too 
much of the bill would undermine the work of our police and our 
communities who are fighting so hard to combat violent crime. 
It reopens settled issues and revisits for no good reason areas 
that are more effectively addressed under current law.
    Finally, we are concerned by reports that some members of 
the House of Representatives are intent on repealing the ban on 
semi-automatic assault weapons that was enacted last year. Such 
a repeal would put in danger countless police officers and 
innocent civilians, and put back in production new weapons of 
choice for drug dealers and gang-affiliated criminals. To 
repeal this crime-fighting law is to break a solemn contract 
between the Congress and America's law enforcement agents and 
officers merely to appease the demands of a special interest 
group. * * *
          * * * * *


                    iv. law enforcement block grants


    Title IV would repeal the Public Safety Partnership and 
Community Policing Act (``COPS'') program enacted by title I of 
the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, and 
replace it with a formula grant program supporting any crime 
reduction purpose, including but not limited to police 
staffing, overtime, equipment, school security measures, and 
neighborhood watch programs. The only limitation on the 
expenditure of these funds would be a local governments 
creativity in labelling a particular expenditure as serving the 
purpose of ``reducing crime'' or ``improving public safety''--
in short, no limitation at all. This formula grant program 
would be administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. 
Funding would generally be disbursed directly and exclusively 
to local governments, primarily in proportion to their 
respective shares of reported part I violent crimes. The 
aggregate funding authorization for the new program would be 
$10 billion over five years.
    The administration strongly opposes this change, which 
would effectively destroy the highly successful COPS program 
that we have already begun to implement, and replace it with a 
poorly conceived and designed program that would not guarantee 
any specific gains in public safety. Our larger concerns about 
this ill-advised proposal include the following:
    First and foremost, we are very concerned that the proposed 
law enforcement block grant program design proposes to turn the 
clock back by ignoring almost everything learned from the Law 
Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) experience. Money 
alone--not even $10 billion dollars--will not result in an 
improvement in public safety without accountability measures to 
assure results. In fact, a key lesson of the LEAA experience 
was that although more resources may be needed by criminal 
justice agencies and communities, too often unrestricted funds 
such as the proposed block grant, will be dissipated by 
scattering them widely or applying them to unwise, frivolous, 
or routine expenditures, with the result that their impact was 
scattershot, short-term and diluted. Another critical lesson of 
LEAA was, that absent clear specific statutory guidance about 
priorities, programs and policies that work, shifting 
priorities and untargeted block grant funding resulted in many 
dollars spent--including much wasted on hardware--with no 
discernible impact on crime or the administration of justice.
    Second, the proposed replacement fails to achieve the 
existing program's critical objective of promoting community 
policing (``cops on the beat''). Limited federal resources 
should be targeted on what works. Under the existing program, 
the vast majority of the grant funds are employed to put 
100,000 new police officers on the street, with the remainder 
of the grant funds designed to promote and strengthen police 
presence in the community and the ability of police officers to 
work effectively with their communities to stop crime. The 
existing COPS program is an example of applying the lessons 
learned from LEAA to help implement a proven program nationwide 
while assuring accountability, flexibility, and results.
    This is an absolutely fundamental feature of the existing 
program. Crime cannot be effectively abated if the nation's 
communities view the police at best as outsiders who appear 
briefly in the aftermath of particular criminal incidents, or 
at worst as an occupying army that becomes the target of 
racial, ethnic, and class antagonisms.
    The experience of community policing--stationing police in 
the communities they serve, on the beat--offers enormous 
benefits from every perspective. On the side of the community, 
it enables citizens to learn to know and trust the police, to 
assist them in carrying out their mission, and to acquire the 
sense of security that comes from the regular presence of 
familiar officers in their neighborhoods and the knowledge that 
those officers are personally committed to protecting them and 
their families from crime. Similarly, it enables police 
officers to know the members of the communities they serve as 
human beings, to obtain specific intelligence from their 
community contacts concerning criminal activities, and to 
develop an understanding of the general nature and causes of a 
community's crime problems and the ability to devise proactive 
strategies to mitigate or eliminate these causes.
    Third, the formulaic approach to the distribution of funds 
under this proposal will produce misallocations of resources, 
both because the incidence of reported part I violent crimes is 
an imperfect measure of the overall crime problem in local 
areas and, more importantly, because the proposed formula takes 
no account of the adequacy or inadequacy of existing police 
staffing levels in particular areas, or the ability or 
inability of such areas to effectively utilize additional 
police resources. Hence, the proposal will deny needed funs to 
hard-pressed areas that would receive greater funding under the 
existing program, and will wastefully confer unneeded windfalls 
on other areas.
    In light of these considerations, the alternative program 
proposed in this bill is fundamentally deficient. It does not 
guarantee that a single new police officer would be put on our 
streets--or any other specific improvement in public safety 
would be made. Instead, it potentially spends billions of 
dollars on wasteful programs or unfocused initiatives--or any 
use, no matter how frivolous--of federal taxpayers dollars that 
can be claimed to ``reduc[e] crime.'' Local officials would be 
free to engage in a 100% federally-funded ``spending spree,'' 
with no guidance as to how these funds should be spent--or what 
results that spending should achieve.
    In sum, the Congress is faced with a very clear choice: 
continue with the President's plan to put 100,000 more police 
on our streets, or replace that program with a $10 billion 
handout of taxpayer funds. It is a choice between making every 
American safer by putting 20% more police on our streets--or 
putting every American's pocketbook at risk with a 100% 
federally-funded giveaway of $10 billion.
    It is a choice between what experience tells us will make 
citizens more secure--an increase of cops-on-the-beat--and what 
experience tells us will make taxpayers more enraged--the use 
of federal funds to purchase tanks, to lease needless aircraft, 
and to support any far-fetched pet projects that can be called 
``crime reduction.''
    For these reason, we strongly oppose Title IV of H.R. 3. *

    ix. amendments to violent crime control and law enforcement act


    Section 901 in this title repeals the prison grants program 
in title II.A of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement 
Act of 1994. As noted earlier, title V of H.R. 3 proposes a 
defective substitute for that program, and also covertly 
repeals the drug courts funding program enacted by title V of 
the 1994 Act. Section 902 repeals the funding programs enacted 
by subtitles A through S and subtitle X of title III of that 
Act. * * *
          * * * * *
    Section 902. Section 902 would repeal all of the funding 
programs enacted by subtitles A through S and subtitle X of 
title III of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act 
of 1994. The rationale for this proposal is apparently that 
these are all ``prevention'' programs--and hence bad--which 
justifies abolishing them across the board.
    However, sound policy cannot be made by a sloganistic 
approach that indiscriminately equates all crime prevention 
efforts with ``pork.'' The programs that would be eliminated by 
this provision include, for example, direct grants to local 
prosecutors for the more effective prosecution of violent 
juvenile offenders. As a second example, this provision would 
also eliminate the local crime punishment block grants program, 
a bipartisan program and funding efforts to prevent crimes 
against the elderly, response teams including both police 
officers and child or family services professionals to deal 
with violent incidents involving children, and support for 
police residences to high crime areas. Whatever views one may 
hold concerning the proper emphasis on ``enforcement'' versus 
``prevention,'' it is hard to see the sense in eliminating any 
possibility of support for worthwhile programs of these types.
    The community Schools and ``FACES'' programs are examples 
of well conceived and coordinated initiatives which should not 
be repealed or consolidated into a block grant. In a few places 
around the country, schools are becoming centers of community 
life--safe, visible places where children and their families 
come after school, in the evening, on weekends, and during the 
summer to participate in academic enrichment, all kinds of 
recreation, and mentoring as well as to access other resources 
and services. Although these community schools are beginning in 
a number of places, there are many more communities where a 
outside support is needed to get things started. The Community 
Schools program would provide at least one grant in each state, 
thereby serving as a catalyst for encouraging states, towns, 
and cities to invest their own resources. The ``FACES'' program 
provides an opportunity for schools and communities to develop 
neighborhood strategies to curb violence and promote positive 
academic and social achievement. A systematic national 
demonstration with rigorous evaluation could help us develop a 
strong research base that shows which program designs in which 
setting best improve outcomes for children, families and 
communities.
    The bill's proposal to eliminate these and other prevention 
programs as well as the President's Prevention Council raises 
equally serious concerns. These programs are largely targeted 
on the underlying causes of criminal activity, and particularly 
the burgeoning problem of youth crime and violence. If young 
people in distressed communities have no hope for the future 
and nothing to do but hang out on the street, increases in gang 
activity, drug trafficking and drug abuse, random violence, and 
all other forms of criminality and deviance are the inevitable 
consequence.
    The crime prevention provisions of the 1994 Crime Act will 
support programs that directly address these problems, 
including after-school and summer programs, academic 
enrichment, and recreation. The President's Prevention Council 
helps to assure coordinated and cost-effective administration 
of these and other prevention programs. When the great majority 
of funding under the Act is already committed to police, 
prisons, and other straightforward enforcement assistance, it 
is penny-wise and pound-foolish to begrudge the more limited 
sums that a bipartisan majority in Congress approved only a few 
months ago as an investment in the future of the nation's youth 
and the security of the public against crime.
    America's police, parents, and prosecutors fought hard to 
win enactment of a balanced attack on crime last year. The 1994 
Crime Act devotes about half of its resources to supporting law 
enforcement, just under a third to expanding state and local 
prisons, and the smallest share--about one-fifth--to funding 
crime prevention programs. Title IX indiscriminately 
obliterates this final aspect of the 1994 Act.
    In communities across this country, a variety of crime 
prevention efforts are underway--efforts that could be expanded 
tremendously with more resources. In some places, schools, 
churches, public buildings, and other facilities are being kept 
open in the afternoons, evenings and on weekends to give kids a 
safe place to go. In others, police are coming into the 
classroom to teach kids about the dangers of drugs, gangs, and 
gun violence. In still other places, Boys and Girls Clubs, 
little leagues, and other activities are being expanded in 
areas hardest hit by crime--giving kids something to belong to, 
other than gangs. And finally, other programs are providing job 
training and job skills to teens, getting them prepared for 
careers on the right side of the law--in the face of pervasive 
opportunities on the wrong side.
    Though these programs differ in many respect, three common 
observations are true about all of them. First, they have the 
support of police, parents, and public officials because these 
officials--on the front lines, away from the hot rhetoric of 
Washington--know that they work in reducing crime. Second, the 
relatively small investment in these programs--just one dollar 
out of five in the crime Act--is likely to save the taxpayers 
billions in lower police, prosecutorial, and prison costs in 
the future. And third, the federal role in supporting these 
efforts is just as necessary--as just as proper--as its role in 
funding local police and local prisons, found elsewhere in the 
Crime Act.
    In addition to wiping out these programs, H.R. 3 takes the 
largest share of the ``savings'' from these reductions, and 
vastly expands the as-yet unfunded prison grant programs. 
Congress had, in 1994, provided $2 for prisons for every $1 for 
prevention; H.R. 3 changes that ration to $6 to $1.
    Even if one accepts the assumption that $2 billion more 
should ultimately be moved from prisons to prevention--an 
assumption we doubt, given the Act's pre-existing tilt toward 
the former over the latter--it would make more sense to do this 
after several years of experience in funding both of these 
efforts under the Crime Bill--and after an assessment can be 
made of the effectiveness of the prison and prevention 
programs. There is simply no reason why any reallocation needs 
to be made now--or why it would not be sounder to allow both 
the prison and the prevention programs to get off the ground 
and then determine if some reallocation between them seems 
wise.
    In sum, in 1994, after six years of wrangling, gridlock, 
and debate, the Congress finally passed--and the President 
signed--a balanced and comprehensive attack on violent crime. 
Now, the American people want to see their officials in 
Washington working in the same bipartisan fashion to implement 
that Bill, rather than wasting time and energy prematurely 
reexamining it.
    Consequently, we strongly oppose Title IX's proposal repeal 
of the Act's crime prevention programs.
    In sum, we support those proposals in H.R. 3 that will 
strengthen law enforcement. We also recommend that the pending 
legislation be expanded to include a wider range of criminal 
law reform measures that we have proposed or endorsed.
    However, we strongly oppose, as currently formulated, 
several provisions in H.R. 3 that would undermine our 
comprehensive attack on crime by reversing last year's historic 
achievements in increasing and strengthening police, prisons, 
and crime prevention. At a time when significant progress in 
reducing crime can be made, these aspects of H.R. 3 would set 
us back and potentially squander billions of taxpayers' dollars 
in the process.

  [This title may be cited as the ``Public Safety Partnership 
and Community Policing Act of 1994''.

[SEC. 10002. PURPOSES.

  [The purposes of this title are to--
          [(1) substantially increase the number of law 
        enforcement officers interacting directly with members 
        of the community (``cops on the beat'');
          [(2) provide additional and more effective training 
        to law enforcement officers to enhance their problem 
        solving, service, and other skills needed in 
        interacting with members of the community;
          [(3) encourage the development and implementation of 
        innovative programs to permit members of the community 
        to assist State, Indian tribal government, and local 
        law enforcement agencies in the prevention of crime in 
        the community; and
          [(4) encourage the development of new technologies to 
        assist State, Indian tribal government, and local law 
        enforcement agencies in reorienting the emphasis of 
        their activities from reacting to crime to preventing 
        crime,
by establishing a program of grants and assistance in 
furtherance of these objectives, including the authorization 
for a period of 6 years of grants for the hiring and rehiring 
of additional career law enforcement officers.

title not later than--
          (1) 90 days after the date that the amount is

        assurances required by section 103(d),
whichever is later.

          (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the 
        Director shall adjust a payment under this title to a 
        unit of local government to the extent that a prior 
        payment to the unit of local government was more or 
        less than the amount required to be paid.
          (2) Considerations.--The Director may increase or 
        decrease under this subsection a payment to a unit of 
        local government only if the Director determines the 
        need for the increase or decrease, or if the unit 
        requests the increase or decrease, not later than 1 
        year after the end of the payment period for which a 
        payment was made.
  (e) Reservation for Adjustment.--The Director may reserve a 
percentage of not more than 2 percent of the amount under this 
section for a payment period for all units of local government 
in a State if the Director considers the reserve is necessary 
to ensure the availability of sufficient amounts to pay 
adjustments after the final allocation of amounts among the 
units of local government in the State.
  (f) Repayment of Unexpended Amounts.--
          (1) Repayment required.--A unit of local government

        reduce payment in future payment periods accordingly.

        be deposited in a designated fund for future payments 
        to units of local government.
  (g) Nonsupplanting Requirement.--Funds made available under 
this title to units of local government shall not be used to 
supplant State or local funds, but shall be used to increase

available under this title, be made available from State or 
local sources.

SEC. 104. ALLOCATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS.

  (a) State Set-aside.--
          (1) In general.--Of the total amounts appropriated 
        for this title for each payment period, the Director 
        shall allocate for units of local government in each 
        State an amount that bears the same ratio to such total 
        as the average annual number of part 1 violent crimes 
        reported by such State to the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation for the 3 most recent calendar years for 
        which such data is available, bears to the number of 
        part 1 violent crimes reported by all States to the 
        Federal Bureau of Investigation for such years.
          (2) Minimum requirement.--Each State shall receive 
        not less than .25 percent of the total amounts 
        appropriated under section 102 under this subsection 
        for each payment period.
          (3) Proportional reduction.--If amounts available to 
        carry out paragraph (2) for any payment period are 
        insufficient to pay in full the total payment that any 
        State is otherwise eligible to receive under paragraph 
        (1) for such period, then the Director shall reduce 
        payments under paragraph (1) for such payment period to 
        the extent of such insufficiency. Reductions under the 
        preceding sentence shall be allocated among the States 
        (other than States whose payment is determined under 
        paragraph (2)) in the same proportions as amounts would 
        be allocated under paragraph (1) without regard to 
        paragraph (2).
  (b) Local Distribution.--
          (1) In general.--From the amount reserved for each 
        State under subsection (a), the Director shall 
        allocate--
                  (A) among reporting units of local government 
                the reporting units' share of such reserved 
                amount, and
                  (B) among nonreporting units of local 
                government the nonreporting units' share of the 
                reserved amount.
          (2) Amounts.--
                  (A) The reporting units' share of the 
                reserved amount is the amount equal to the 
                product of such reserved amount multiplied by 
                the percentage which the population living in 
                reporting units of local government in the 
                State bears to the population of all units of 
                local government in the State.
                  (B) The nonreporting units' share of the 
                reserved amount is the reserved amount reduced 
                by the reporting units' share of the reserved 
                amount.
          (3) Allocation to each reporting unit.--From the 
        reporting units' share of the reserved amount for each 
        State under subsection (a), the Director shall allocate 
        to each reporting unit of local government an amount 
        which bears the same ratio to such share as the average 
        annual number of part 1 violent crimes reported by such 
        unit to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the 3 
        most recent calendar years for which such data is 
        available bears to the number of part 1 violent crimes 
        reported by all units of local government in the State 
        in which the unit is located to the Federal Bureau of 
        Investigation for such years.
          (4) Allocation to each nonreporting unit.--From the 
        nonreporting units' share of the reserved amount for 
        each State under subsection (a), the Director shall 
        allocate to each nonreporting unit of local government 
        an amount which bears the same ratio to such share as 
        the average number of part 1 violent crimes of like 
        governmental units in the same population class as such 
        unit bears to the average annual imputed number of part 
        1 violent crimes of all nonreporting units in the State 
        for the 3 most recent calendar years.
          (5) Limitation on allocations.--A unit of local 
        government shall not receive an allocation which 
        exceeds 100 percent of such unit's expenditures on law 
        enforcement services as reported by the Bureau of the 
        Census for the most recent fiscal year. Any amount in 
        excess of 100 percent of such unit's expenditures on 
        law enforcement services shall be distributed 
        proportionally among units of local government whose 
        allocation does not exceed 100 percent of expenditures 
        on law enforcement services.

                government'' means any unit of local government 
                which is not a reporting unit of local 
                government.
                  (C)(i) The term ``like governmental units'' 
                means any like unit of local government as

                of governmental units.
                  (D) The term ``same population class'' means 
                a like unit within the same population category 
                as another like unit with the categories 
                determined as follows:
                          (i) 0 through 9,999.

the Secretary shall allocate to each State out of the amount 
appropriated for the period under the authority of section 
6702(b) (minus the amounts allocated to territorial governments 
under subsection (e) for the payment period) an amount bearing 
the same ratio to the amount appropriated (minus such amounts 
allocated under subsection (e)) as the amount allocated to the 
State under this section bears to the total amount allocated to 
all States under this section. The Secretary shall--

subsection (c). For the payment period beginning October 1, 
1994, the Secretary shall use as the population of each Indian 
tribe or Alaskan native village the population for 1991 as 
reported by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the publication 
Indian Service Population and Labor Force Estimates (January 
1991). In addition to uses authorized under section 6701(a)(2),

(b) through (d) on a program or activity of a unit of general 
local government about which a holding of discrimination has 
been made, the Secretary or administrative law judge may 
consider only whether a payment under this chapter was used to 
pay for any part of the program or activity. The holding of 
discrimination is conclusive. If the holding is reversed by an 
appellate court, the Secretary or judge shall end the 
proceeding.

        public and private entities, in furtherance of the 
        purposes of the Public Safety Partnership and Community 
        Policing Act of 1994.
          [(2) Model.--The technical assistance provided by the

        include instruction and seminars for police executives, 
        managers, trainers, supervisors, and such others as the 
        Attorney General considers to be appropriate concerning 
        community or problem-oriented policing and improvements

        payment under this chapter an amount equal to the sum 
        of any amounts allocated to the government under this 
        chapter for each payment period. The Secretary shall 
        pay such amount out of the Local Government Fiscal 
        Assistance Fund under section 6702.
          [(2) Use.--Amounts paid to a unit of general local 
        government under this section shall be used by that

        related to--
                  [(A) education to prevent crime;
                  [(B) substance abuse treatment to prevent 
                crime; or
                  [(C) job programs to prevent crime.
          [(3) Coordination.--Programs funded under this title 
        shall be coordinated with other existing Federal

        benefit from funds received under this section.
  [(b) Timing of Payments.--The Secretary shall pay each amount 
allocated under this chapter to a unit of general local 
government for a payment period by the later of 90 days after 
the date the amount is available or the first day of the

government has provided the Secretary with the assurances 
required by section 6703(d).
  [(c) Adjustments.--
          [(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the 
        Secretary shall adjust a payment under this chapter to 
        a unit of general local government to the extent that a 
        prior payment to the government was more or less than 
        the amount required to be paid.
          [(2) Considerations.--The Secretary may increase or 
        decrease under this subsection a payment to a unit of 
        local government only if the Secretary determines the 
        need for the increase or decrease, or the unit requests 
        the increase or decrease, within one year after the end 
        of the payment period for which the payment was made.
  [(d) Reservation for Adjustments.--The Secretary may reserve 
a percentage of not more than 2 percent of the amount under 
this section for a payment period for all units of general

amounts to pay adjustments after the final allocation of 
amounts among the units of general local government in the 
State.
  [(e) Repayment of Unexpended Amounts.--
          [(1) Repayment required.--A unit of general local 
        government shall repay to the Secretary, by not later

                appropriated under the authority of this 
                section; and
                  [(B) not expended by the unit within one year 
                after receipt from the Secretary.
          [(2) Penalty for failure to repay.--If the amount 
        required to be repaid is not repaid, the Secretary 
        shall reduce payments in future payment periods 
        accordingly.

        the Secretary as repayments under this subsection shall 
        be deposited in the Local Government Fiscal Assistance

        government.

          [(1) General rule.--Of amounts paid to a unit of 
        general local government under this chapter for a

        combined amounts obligated by the unit for contracts 
        and subcontracts shall be expended with--
                  [(A) small business concerns controlled by

          [(2) Exception.--Paragraph (1) shall not apply to 
        amounts paid to a unit of general local government to 
        the extent the unit determines that the paragraph does 
        not apply through a process that provides for public 
        participation.

                disadvantaged individuals'' has the meaning 
                such term has under section 8(d) of the Small 
                Business Act and relevant subcontracting

          [(1) In general.--Funds made available under this 
        chapter to units of local government shall not be used 
        to supplant State or local funds, but will be used to 
        increase the amount of funds that would, in the absence 
        of funds under this chapter, be made available from 
        State or local sources.
          [(2) Base level amount.--The total level of funding

        under this chapter shall be designated the ``base level 
        account'' for the fiscal year in which a grant is 
        received. Grants under this chapter in a given fiscal 
        year shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis to

[Sec. 6704. State area allocations; allocations and payments to 
                    territorial governments

  [(a) Formula Allocation by State.--For each payment period, 
the Secretary shall allocate to each State out of the amount 
appropriated for the period under the authority of section 
6702(b) (minus the amounts allocated to territorial governments 
under subsection (e) for the payment period) an amount bearing 
the same ratio to the amount appropriated (minus such amounts 
allocated under subsection (e)) as the amount allocated to the 
State under this section bears to the total amount allocated to 
all States under this section. The Secretary shall--
          [(1) determine the amount allocated to the State 
        under subsection (b) or (c) of this section and 
        allocate the larger amount to the State; and
          [(2) allocate the amount allocated to the State to 
        units of general local government in the State under 
        sections 6705 and 6706.
  [(b) General Formula.--
          [(1) In general.--For the payment period beginning 
        October 1, 1994, the amount allocated to a State under 
        this subsection for a payment period is the amount 
        bearing the same ratio to $5,300,000,000 as--
                  [(A) the population of the State, multiplied 
                by the general tax effort factor of the State 
                (determined under paragraph (2)), multiplied by 
                the relative income factor of the State 
                (determined under paragraph (3)), multiplied by 
                the relative rate of the labor force unemployed 
                in the State (determined under paragraph (4)); 
                bears to
                  [(B) the sum of the products determined under 
                subparagraph (A) of this paragraph for all 
                States.
          [(2) General tax effort factor.--The general tax 
        effort factor of a State for a payment period is--
                  [(A) the net amount of State and local taxes 
                of the State collected during the year 1991 as 
                reported by the Bureau of the Census in the 
                publication Government Finances 1990-1991; 
                divided by
                  [(B) the total income of individuals, as 
                determined by the Secretary of Commerce for 
                national accounts purposes for 1992 as reported 
                in the publication Survey of Current Business 
                (August 1993), attributed to the State for the 
                same year.
          [(3) Relative income factor.--The relative income 
        factor of a State is a fraction in which--
                  [(A) the numerator is the per capita income 
                of the United States; and
                  [(B) the denominator is the per capita income 
                of the State.
          [(4) Relative rate of labor force.--The relative rate 
        of the labor force unemployed in a State is a fraction 
        in which--
                  [(A) the numerator is the percentage of the 
                labor force of the State that is unemployed in 
                the calendar year preceding the payment period 
                (as determined by the Secretary of Labor for 
                general statistical purposes); and
                  [(B) the denominator is the percentage of the 
                labor force of the United States that is 
                unemployed in the calendar year preceding the 
                payment period (as determined by the Secretary 
                of Labor for general statistical purposes).
  [(c) Alternative Formula.--For the payment period beginning 
October 1, 1994, the amount allocated to a State under this 
subsection for a payment period is the total amount the State 
would receive if--
          [(1) $1,166,666,667 were allocated among the States 
        on the basis of population by allocating to each State 
        an amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount to 
        be allocated under this paragraph as the population of 
        the State bears to the population of all States;
          [(2) $1,166,666,667 were allocated among the States 
        on the basis of population inversely weighted for per 
        capita income, by allocating to each State an amount 
        bearing the same ratio to the total amount to be 
        allocated under this paragraph as--
                  [(A) the population of the State, multiplied 
                by a fraction in which--
                          [(i) the numerator is the per capita 
                        income of all States; and
                          [(ii) the denominator is the per 
                        capita income of the State; bears to
                  [(B) the sum of the products determined under 
                subparagraph (A) for all States;
          [(3) $600,000,000 were allocated among the States on 
        the basis of income tax collections by allocating to 
        each State an amount bearing the same ratio to the 
        total amount to be allocated under this paragraph as 
        the income tax amount of the State (determined under 
        subsection (d)(1)) bears to the sum of the income tax 
        amounts of all States;
          [(4) $600,000,000 were allocated among the States on 
        the basis of general tax effort by allocating to each 
        State an amount bearing the same ratio to the total 
        amount to be allocated under this paragraph as the 
        general tax effort amount of the State (determined 
        under subsection (d)(2)) bears to the sum of the 
        general tax effort amounts of all States;
          [(5) $600,000,000 were allocated among the States on 
        the basis of unemployment by allocating to each State 
        an amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount to 
        be allocated under this paragraph as--
                  [(A) the labor force of the State, multiplied 
                by a fraction in which--
                          [(i) the numerator is the percentage 
                        of the labor force of the State that is 
                        unemployed in the calendar year 
                        preceding the payment period (as 
                        determined by the Secretary of Labor 
                        for general statistical purposes); and
                          [(ii) the denominator is the 
                        percentage of the labor force of the 
                        United States that is unemployed in the 
                        calendar year preceding the payment 
                        period (as determined by the Secretary 
                        of Labor for general statistical 
                        purposes)
                bears to
                  [(B) the sum of the products determined under 
                subparagraph (A) for all States; and
          [(6) $1,166,666,667 were allocated among the States 
        on the basis of urbanized population by allocating to 
        each State an amount bearing the same ratio to the 
        total amount to be allocated under this paragraph as 
        the urbanized population of the State bears to the 
        urbanized population of all States. In this paragraph, 
        the term ``urbanized population'' means the population 
        of an area consisting of a central city or cities of at 
        least 50,000 inhabitants and the surrounding closely 
        settled area for the city or cities considered as an 
        urbanized area as published by the Bureau of the Census 
        for 1990 in the publication General Population 
        Characteristics for Urbanized Areas.
  [(d) Income Tax Amount and Tax Effort Amount.--
          [(1) Income tax amount.--The income tax amount of a 
        State for a payment period is 15 percent of the net 
        amount collected during the calendar year ending before 
        the beginning of the payment period from the tax 
        imposed on the income of individuals by the State and 
        described as a State income tax under section 164(a)(3) 
        of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 
        164(a)(3)). The income tax amount for a payment period 
        shall be at least 1 percent but not more than 6 percent 
        of the United States Government individual income tax 
        liability attributed to the State for the taxable year 
        ending during the last calendar year ending before the 
        beginning of the payment period. The Secretary shall 
        determine the Government income tax liability 
        attributed to the State by using the data published by 
        the Secretary for 1991 in the publication Statistics of 
        Income Bulletin (Winter 1993-1994).
          [(2) General tax effort amount.--The general tax 
        effort amount of a State for a payment period is the 
        amount determined by multiplying--
                  [(A) the net amount of State and local taxes 
                of the State collected during the year 1991 as 
                reported in the Bureau of Census in the 
                publication Government Finances 1990-1991; and
                  [(B) the general tax effort factor of the 
                State determined under subsection (b)(2).
  [(e) Allocation for Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and 
the Virgin Islands.--
          [(1) In general.--(A) For each payment period for 
        which funds are available for allocation under this 
        chapter, the Secretary shall allocate to each 
        territorial government an amount equal to the product 
        of 1 percent of the amount of funds available for 
        allocation multiplied by the applicable territorial 
        percentage.
          [(B) For the purposes of this paragraph, the 
        applicable territorial percentage of a territory is 
        equal to the quotient resulting from the division of 
        the territorial population of such territory by the sum 
        of the territorial population for all territories.
          [(2) Payments to local governments.--The governments 
        of the territories shall make payments to local 
        governments within their jurisdiction from sums 
        received under this subsection as they consider 
        appropriate.
          [(3) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
                  [(A) the term ``territorial government'' 
                means the government of a territory;
                  [(B) the term ``territory'' means Puerto 
                Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin 
                Islands; and
                  [(C) the term ``territorial population'' 
                means the most recent population for each 
                territory as determined by the Bureau of 
                Census.

[Sec. 6705. Local government allocations

  [(a) Indian Tribes and Alaskan Natives Villages.--If there is 
in a State an Indian tribe or Alaskan native village having a 
recognized governing body carrying out substantial governmental 
duties and powers, the Secretary shall allocate to the tribe or 
village, out of the amount allocated to the State under section 
6704, an amount bearing the same ratio to the amount allocated 
to the State as the population of the tribe or village bears to 
the population of the State. The Secretary shall allocate 
amounts under this subsection to Indian tribes and Alaskan 
native villages in a State before allocating amounts to units 
of general local government in the State under subsection (c). 
For the payment period beginning October 1, 1994, the Secretary 
shall use as the population of each Indian tribe or Alaskan 
native village the population for 1991 as reported by the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs in the publication Indian Service 
Population and Labor Force Estimates (January 1991). In 
addition to uses authorized under section 6701(a)(2), amounts 
allocated under this subsection and paid to an Indian tribe or 
Alaskan native village under this chapter may be used for 
renovating or building prisons or other correctional 
facilities.
  [(b) Newly Incorporated Local Governments and Annexed 
Governments.--If there is in a State a unit of general local 
government that has been incorporated since the date of the 
collection of the data used by the Secretary in making 
allocations pursuant to sections 6704 through 6706 and 6708, 
the Secretary shall allocate to this newly incorporated local 
government, out of the amount allocated to the State under 
section 6704, an amount bearing the same ratio to the amount 
allocated to the State as the population of the newly 
incorporated local government bears to the population of the 
State. If there is in the State a unit of general local 
government that has been annexed since the date of the 
collection of the data used by the Secretary in making 
allocations pursuant to sections 6704 through 6706 and 6708, 
the Secretary shall pay the amount that would have been 
allocated to this local government to the unit of general local 
government that annexed it.
  [(c) Other Local Government Allocations.--
          [(1) In general.--The Secretary shall allocate among 
        the units of general local government in a State (other 
        than units receiving allocations under subsection (a)) 
        the amount allocated to the State under section 6704 
        (as that amount is reduced by allocations under 
        subsection (a)). Of the amount to be allocated, the 
        Secretary shall allocate a portion equal to \1/2\ of 
        such amount in accordance with section 6706(1), and 
        shall allocate a portion equal to \1/2\ of such amount 
        in accordance with section 6706(2). A unit of general 
        local government shall receive an amount equal to the 
        sum of amounts allocated to the unit from each portion.
          [(2) Ratio.--From each portion to be allocated to 
        units of local government in a State under paragraph 
        (1), the Secretary shall allocate to a unit an amount 
        bearing the same ratio to the funds to be allocated 
        as--
                  [(A) the population of the unit, multiplied 
                by the Pgeneral tax effort factor of the unit 
                (determined under paragraph (3)), multiplied by 
                the income gap of the unit (determined under 
                paragraph (4)), bears to
                  [(B) the sum of the products determined under 
                subparagraph (A) for all units in the State for 
                which the income gap for that portion under 
                paragraph (4) is greater than zero.
          [(3) General tax effort factor.--(A) Except as 
        provided in subparagraph (C), the general tax effort 
        factor of a unit of general local government for a 
        payment period is--
                  [(i) the adjusted taxes of the unit; divided 
                by
                  [(ii) the total income attributed to the 
                unit.
          [(B) If the amount determined under subparagraphs (A) 
        (i) and (ii) for a unit of general local government is 
        less than zero, the general tax effort factor of the 
        unit is deemed to be zero.
          [(C)(i) Except as otherwise provided in this 
        subparagraph, for the payment period beginning October 
        1, 1994, the adjusted taxes of a unit of general local 
        government are the taxes imposed by the unit for public 
        purposes (except employee and employer assessments and 
        contributions to finance retirement and social 
        insurance systems and other special assessments for 
        capital outlay), as determined by the Bureau of the 
        Census for the 1987 Census of Governments and adjusted 
        as follows:
                  [(I) Adjusted taxes equals total taxes times 
                a fraction in which the numerator is the sum of 
                unrestricted revenues and revenues dedicated 
                for spending on education minus total education 
                spending and the denominator is total

        adjusted taxes for that unit.
          [(iv) The maximum allowable adjusted taxes for a unit 
        of general local government is the allowable adjusted 
        taxes of the unit minus the excess adjusted taxes of 
        the unit.
          [(v) The allowable adjusted taxes of a unit of 
        general government is the greater of--
                  [(I) the amount equal to 2.5, multiplied by 
                the per capita adjusted taxes of all units of 
                general local government of the same type in 
                the State, multiplied by the population of the

                adjusted taxes of the unit;
        except that if this amount is less than zero then the 
        excess adjusted taxes of the unit is deemed to be zero.
          [(vii) For purposes of this subparagraph--
                  [(I) the term ``per capita adjusted taxes of 
                all units of general local government of the 
                same type'' means the sum of the adjusted taxes 
                of all units of general local government of the 
                same type divided by the sum of the populations 
                of all units of general local government of the 
                same type; and
                  [(II) the term ``units of general local 
                government of the same type'' means all 
                townships if the unit of general local 
                government is a township, all municipalities if 
                the unit of general local government is a 
                municipality, all counties if the unit of 
                general local government is a county, or all 
                unified city/county governments if the unit of 
                general local government is a unified city/
                county government.
          [(4) Income gap.--(A) Except as provided in 
        subparagraph (B), the income gap of a unit of general 
        local government is--
                  [(i) the number which applies under section 
                6706, multiplied by the per capita income of 
                the State in which the unit is located; minus
                  [(ii) the per capita income of the geographic 
                area of the unit.
          [(B) If the amount determined under subparagraph (A) 
        for a unit of general local government is less than 
        zero, then the relative income factor of the unit is 
        deemed to be zero.
  [(d) Small Government Allocations.--If the Secretary decides 
that information available for a unit of general local 
government with a population below a number (of not more than 
500) prescribed by the Secretary is inadequate, the Secretary 
may allocate to the unit, in lieu of any allocation under 
subsection (b) for a payment period, an amount bearing the same 
ratio to the total amount to be allocated under subsection (b) 
for the period for all units of general local government in the 
State as the population of the unit bears to the population of 
all units in the State.

[Sec. 6706. Income gap multiplier

  [For purposes of determining the income gap of a unit of 
general local government under section 6705(b)(4)(A), the 
number which applies is--
          [(1) 1.6, with respect to \1/2\ of any amount 
        allocated under section 6704 to the State in which the 
        unit is located; and
          [(2) 1.2, with respect to the remainder of such 
        amount.

[Sec. 6707. State variation of local government allocations

  [(a) State Formula.--A State government may provide by law 
for the allocation of amounts among units of general local 
government in the State on the basis of population multiplied 
by the general tax effort factors or income gaps of the units 
of general local government determined under sections 6705 (a) 
and (b) or a combination of those factors. A State government 
providing for a variation of an allocation formula provided 
under sections 6705 (a) and (b) shall notify the Secretary of 
the variation by the 30th day before the beginning of the first 
payment period in which the variation applies. A variation 
shall--
          [(1) provide for allocating the total amount 
        allocated under sections 6705 (a) and (b); and
          [(2) apply uniformly in the State.
  [(b) Certification.--A variation by a State government under 
this section may apply only if the Secretary certifies that the 
variation complies with this section. The Secretary may certify 
a variation only if the Secretary is notified of the variation 
at least 30 days before the first payment period in which the 
variation applies.

[Sec. 6708. Adjustments of local government allocations

  [(a) Maximum Amount.--The amount allocated to a unit of 
general local government for a payment period may not exceed 
the adjusted taxes imposed by the unit of general local 
government as determined under section 6705(b)(3). Amounts in 
excess of adjusted taxes shall be paid to the Governor of the 
State in which the unit of local government is located.
  [(b) De Minimis Allocations to Units of General Local 
Government.--If the amount allocated to a unit of general local 
government (except an Indian tribe or an Alaskan native 
village) for a payment period would be less than $5,000 but for 
this subsection or is waived by the governing authority of the

        in showing compliance with section 6711 (a) or (b).
          [(2) Decision.--If the administrative law judge

                  [(A) not complied with section 6711 (a) or 
                (b), the judge may order payments to the

                  [(B) complied with section 6711 (a) or (b), a 
                suspension under section 6713(a)(1)(A) shall be 
                discontinued promptly.
          [(3) Likelihood of prevailing.--An administrative law 
        judge may not issue a preliminary decision that the 
        government is not likely to prevail if the judge has 
        issued a decision described in paragraph (2)(A).
  [(e) Basis for Review.--In a proceeding under subsections (b) 
through (d) on a program or activity of a unit of general local 
government about which a holding of discrimination has been 
made, the Secretary or administrative law judge may consider 
only whether a payment under this chapter was used to pay for 
any part of the program or activity. The holding of 
discrimination is conclusive. If the holding is reversed by an 
appellate court, the Secretary or judge shall end the 
proceeding.

                proceeding under section 6712(d)(1) that the

                compliance with section 6711 (a) and (b);
                  [(B) if the administrative law judge decides

                government has not complied with section 6711 
                (a) or (b), unless the government makes a 
                compliance agreement under section 6714 by the

        in a notice of noncompliance submitted by the Secretary 
        under section 6712(a);
          [(3) if a United States court, a State court, or an 
        administrative law judge decides (including a judge in

        government has complied with sections 6711 (a) and (b);

        educational programs or other innovative approaches to 
        improving access for neighborhood residents; 
        integration of recovery program with federally assisted 
        projects to maximize recreational opportunities through 
        conversion of abandoned railroad and highway rights-of-
        way, waterfront, and other redevelopment efforts and 
        such other federally assisted projects as may be 
        appropriate; conversion of recreation use of street 
        space, derelict land, and other public lands not now

        park and recreation facilities and programs.
The Secretary shall establish and publish in the Federal 
Register requirements for preparation, submission, and updating 
of local park and recreation recovery action programs. [In 
order to be eligible to receive ``at-risk youth recreation 
grants'' a local government shall amend its 5-year action 
program to incorporate the goal of reducing crime and juvenile 
delinquency and to provide a description of the implementation 
strategies to achieve this goal. The plan shall also address

                            DISSENTING VIEWS

    We take strong exception to the contents of this bill.
    It breaks the promise Congress made last year to the 
American people that we would put 100,000 new police on the 
streets to fight violent crime.
    It eviscerates the promise of hope Congress made to our 
young people in a panoply of carefully targeted crime 
prevention programs.
    And it destroys the overall balance among tough police, 
punishment and prisons programs and smart crime prevention 
programs that was achieved after long bipartisan negotiation in 
last year's crime bill, the Violent Crime Control and Law 
Enforcement Act of 1994.
    For all of that good work--good work that is even now 
helping fight crime in communities all over America--this bill 
substitutes an elusive, chameleon-like block grant program. 
That block grant program purports to be all things to all 
people. But in the final analysis, it turns out to be nothing 
to anyone.
    The $10 billion this bill authorizes come from two sources: 
the approximately $7.5 billion of funds authorized in the ``out 
years'' (fiscal year 1996 and beyond) for the ``Cops on the 
Beat'' program in the 1994 Crime Bill, and the approximately 
$5.0 billion authorized in the ``out years'' for prevention 
programs in the same bill. Of that total of $12.5 billion, 
approximately $2.5 billion were allocated by a companion bill 
(H.R. 729) to building prisons.
    So, let it be clear. This bill cuts funding for both cops 
and prevention.
    But, it does more than that. It destroys these programs as 
concepts.
    It virtually eliminates any standards to which local 
officials will be held in the expenditure of that diminished 
pool of funds, beyond the vague requirement that they be used 
``for reducing crime and improving public safety.''
    In short, these funds can--and no doubt will in too many 
cases--be used by local officials for ill-advised, wasteful and 
even counter-productive uses.
    There is absolutely no assurance whatever that a single new 
cop will be hired or that any prevention program that works 
will be funded.
    We say that with no joy, but with sad recognition of the 
history of another failed program hauntingly similar to this 
one--the block grants program of the Law Enforcement Assistance 
Administration, a Nixon administration ``crime fighting'' 
initiative.
    That program also showered block grants on local officials, 
supposedly to be used for fighting crime. But in less than 
three years it was denounced by the Alabama State Attorney 
General as ``a politician's dream for the biggest pork barrel 
of them all.''
    Funds under the LEAA program were thrown away on airplanes 
that were used for the private purposes of State officials, 
Army combat tanks, limousines, radio equipment that didn't work 
and computers that were left to rot in warehouses, employment 
of politician's friends and relatives, and foolish 
``consulting'' fees.
    There is nothing whatever within this bill to prevent 
similar horror stories from happening again.
    Proponents of this bill argue that these federal dollars, 
taken from the taxes of hard-working Americans all over the 
land, should be showered back without meaningful guidelines, 
all in the name of ``local control.'' We say that mindlessly 
obstinate and ideologically-inspired mantra will result at the 
end of five years in billions of dollars being thrown down a 
rat-hole, with no evidence of what they were used for or 
whether any results were obtained.
    Our point of view is this--we want to keep last year's 
promise to the American people of 100,000 new cops on the 
streets. We want to keep last year's promise to America's youth 
that they will be given meaningful alternatives to guns, drugs, 
and gangs.
    Our position is simple: keep the real cops and real 
prevention in the 1994 Crime BILL. Don't repeat ``the biggest 
pork barrel of them all,'' which is what this bill will do.
