EDT THE PRESIDENT: Hello? I'm just listening to your war stories; you sound good. I think they did help — all those calls you mentioned. They made all the difference. The Attorney General and I =ire here on the phone, and we want to begin by just thanking you for everything you have done. I think it's obvious that this was a very tough battle in the House and in the Senate; that the outcome was often in doubt, and you guys hung in there tough, and you made a huge difference, and we are very, very grateful to you. I know that you know well that among the things that this crime bill does is to create 100,000 new police officers -- a 20 percent increase in police on the beat in the United States and communities all over this country. And in just a few minutes, I'm going to sign an appropriations bill here that make available the first round of resources to make the crime bill a reality next year. We've already put some new police officers on the street through the funds we provided last year as a downpayment on the crime bill. The bill I'm about to sign will provide funds to train and hire 15,000 more police within the next 12 months. I know that some of you put police officers on the streets with last year's funds, but you probably all know that we received ten times — ten times -- as many applications for police hiring as we could afford, including many that were well-qualified. That is a real rebuke to those who say that there's no real need for this police funding. In the next two months alone, we're going to give you the resources to hire 2,500 more police officers in c;.'.':ies that were only turned down last year and this year because we didn't have enough money. Let me emphasize, too, that this appropriations bill, consistent with the crime bill, provides significant money to fight violence against women, to lock up criminal aliens, for prisons, and for boot camps and drug courts and the other prevention programs that we believe so strongly in, and also to help enforce the Brady Bill. This is the downpayment. We're looking forward to seeing you all here when we sign the crime bill and celebrate it, but now I think we all know that the responsibility is on those of us who fought so hard for this to make sure the money is well spent, to make sure the implementation works, and to make sure that we make people safer and more secure on our streets. General Reno, would you like to say something? ATTORNEY GENERAL RENO: I really appreciate all your efforts. I've been to most of your cit.ies. You've been there with me, you've shown me what works. You've shown me how much you have needed the resources, both in terms of punishment, policing and prevention that can really make a difference. Your police chiefs have done such an incredible job with limited resources. .And we look forward to working with you, with them to make sure this bill is administered the right way; that it's MORE - 2 - implemented in the way that can make sure we get resources to you as soon as possible and as effectively as possible. I leave from here to go to a meeting on the implementation, and we're going to be prepared to form that real partnership that we've been developing to address your needs the way it should be addressed in each of your communities. Thank ever so much for all that you've done. THE PRESIDENT: Thanks, Mayor. She did. MAYOR GIULIANI: (Laughter.; We lost the Attorney General, Mr. President. THE PRESIDENT: Can you hear them now? ATTORNEY GENERAL RENO: Now I can hear them. MAYOR GIULIANI: No, we can't hear the Attorney General. THE PRESIDENT: Can you hear her now? THE MAYORS: No. THE PRESIDENT: Say something. ATTORNEY GENERAL RENO: Hello. (Laughter.) THE PRESIDENT: She can hear you. Mayor Giuliani, are you on? MAYOR GIULIANI: I am. THE PRESIDENT: Go ahead. Mayor. MAYOR GIULIANI: Mr. President, I congratulate you and all the mayors who have fought so hard for this bill. The bill really — and the law, now — presents a balanced approach to America's most critical problem. It's going to give us help with policing, it's going to give us help with corrections, with prevention programs that give young people hope for a better future — maybe a future in which we have less crime to have to deal with, which I really believe can be possible. And the ban on assault weapons is, I think, more valuable than people even realize. And particularly, I want to commend you for your leadership in getting the ban on assault weapons passed. You could have sacrificed that a couple weeks ago and gotten this bill through without as much political aggravation for yourself. But you hung in there and fought for it and we really respect you for that. Most important, however, I think, is the way you achieved this victory, because it transcends ideology. You brought Democrats and Republicans together so that we can stand together for something that we believe in. And it really presents a model for all of us on how to accomplish positive results. So, Mr. President, we appreciate your perseverance and your leadership. And I was very honored to participate with the other mayors, all of whom exhibited tremendous leadership when they came to Congress last week and really stood up for what they believed in. I think they all deserve a great deal of praise. THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Mayor, I have to say, I think the fact that you and Mayor Riordan and some of the other Republican mayors were willing to stand up and be counted on this made it easier for the House and the Senate members of your party who MORE - 3 - wanted to join in this endeavor to stay with it. And I can't thank you enough for that. I think, you know, we have got to find a way to do the public's business on issues that affect all Americans without regard to their party. And there is nothing more profoundly significant than this. I just — I can't say enough to thank you. We tried to take this crime bill beyond the debates of the past, beyond what I like to call the false choices that have been imposed too often on political debates. This bill has got prevention and prisons and punishment and police in it, and I think will help to empower communities to make their streets safer.

Limitation on DoD Contract Performance Bonuses – #4371 1. Amendment # 4373 – No Federal funds for the future development and operation of the Defense Travel System Background The Defense Travel System (DTS) is an end-to-end electronic travel system intended to integrate all travel functions, from authorization through ticket purchase to accounting for the Department of Defense. The system was initiated in 1998 and it was supposed to be fully deployed by 2002. DTS is currently in the final phase of a six-year contract that expires September 30, 2006. In its entire history, the system has never met a deadline, never stayed within cost estimates, and never performed adequately. To date, DTS has cost the taxpayers $474 million – more than $200 million more than it was originally projected to cost. It is still not fully deployed. It is grossly underutilized. And tests have repeatedly shown that it does not consistently find the lowest applicable airfare – so even where it is deployed and used, it does not really achieve the savings proposed. This amendment prohibits continued funding of DTS and instead requires DOD to shift to a fixed price per transaction e-travel system used by government agencies in the civilian sector, as set up under General Services Administration (GSA) contracts. Quotes of Senators from last year’s debate • Senator Allen stated during the debate last year that “as a practical matter we would like to have another year or so to see (DTS) fully implemented.” • Senator Coleman stated during the debate, “… if we cannot get the right answers we should pull the plug, but now is not the time to pull the plug.

In addition the Central Area‟s development was not part of a unified real state scheme with coordinated public improvements (such as the Mount Baker community). For these reasons, it has never had official boundaries and various writers describe its extent in various ways. Almost all attempts to describe the neighborhood include a core area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, 15th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (formerly Empire Way) on the east. In 1975, Nyberg and Steinbrueck identified the eastern boundary of the Central Area as 30th Avenue (more or less), and also included extensions to the north and south of the core area. The extension to the south of Jackson Street was bounded by 30th Avenue (approximately) on the east, Interstate 90 on the south, and the mid-block alley just east of Rainier Avenue South on the west. The extension to the north of Madison Street was bounded on the west by 23rd Avenue, on the east by the Washington Park Arboretum, and extended north to a line just north of East Helen Street marking the boundary between the plats known as the Madison Park Addition and the Hazelwood Addition Supplemental.1 Walt Crowley describes the neighborhood as a “sprawling residential district .

Seattle is fortunate that its neighborhoods and communities enjoy a relatively high degree of safety and stability. The Panel recognizes that this is due, in large part, to the dedication of Seattle police officers. The majority of these officers work day in and day out, forging bonds with residents and successfully improving communities in which they serve. Most are rarely subject to any form of disciplinary complaint. Similarly, the Panel recognizes the work of the current and former Office
