I really appreciate a lot of the things that all of you have done in this regard. Let me just say that the crime bill, itself, has a number of provisions that I think are quite important and some with which you may or may not agree. Two things that I feel very strongly about are the community policing provisions and the three strikes and you're out provision. I'd like to say something about each of them. ... The third thing I'd like to say is there are a number of other things in the crime bill which I think are worthy of your attention. There's the provision which bans possession of handguns by minors except in limited circumstances, which many of you have already done at the state level. There is the ban on several assault weapons. There are funds for alternative incarceration, like boot camps, and for drug treatment. And, of course, there are significant funds -- which I heard you all discussing yesterday in the committee chaired by Governor Wilson -- about jails and federal funds for jails. And I would urge you to -- I heard the discussion on television yesterday. I think you need to have a committee that works with us on it to make sure that it makes sense to you. ... But the first major thing that will happen in this legislative session is, in closing, the crime bill. After we pass the education bills -- I think that Secretary Riley is in pretty good shape with Goals 2000 and the school-to-work transition. But then the next thing that will come up is the crime bill. Then we'll go to the other measures I mentioned. And I really look forward to working with you on them. ... (Note: the education bill passed the Senate yesterday) Title:1994-02-07 President's Remarks at Texas Fundraiser ... And I heard them for years talk about being tough on crime, and after seven years of flailing around, we finally passed the Brady Bill. And now we've got a tough crime bill before the Congress -- (applause) -- we've got a tough crime bill before the Congress which says no to the things we ought to say no to and begins to say yes to the things we ought to say yes to. That is, it does provide for tougher penalties, especially for repeat violent offenders. But it also puts another 100,000 police officers on the street, because we learned from Mayor Lanier that if you have more police in the right place, you'll lower the crime rate. (Applause.) And it provides drug treatment and education and alternative imprisonment for young people to give them a chance to put their lives back together. You can't just say no to people, you also have to say yes to the people that are going to be on your streets, in your neighborhoods, and a part of your future. It's time to stop turning away from them and start giving them a way to be a part of our common future. That is what it also does. (Applause.) ... (NOTE: this later speech does not mention AW ban. This may just mean the such nonsense is not popular in Texas and he knows it) This was obtained from almanac@esusda.gov. if you are interested send mail to almanac@esusda.gov with the following body : subscribe wh-summary -- Devon Davis ddavis@fwrdc.rtsg.mot.com "Texas (politics) a whole other country" "People will be hunting Democrats with dogs by the end of the century."
