Message from the Administrators The year 1970 demonstrated that the federal-state-local government partnership represented by the block grant approach offers the most effective means of improving the criminal justice system in the United States. This approach recognizes the importance of local commitment, priorities and decision making as how best to control crime, tempered with adherence to statutory requirements of comprehensiveness, plan balance and full local involvement in the formulation and benefits of the program. Some problems have arisen-some states and local units of government resent any direction from Washington-such as our emphasis on ccirrer.t,ions improvement in fiscal 1970. Some state officials even feel they should not be obliged to pre:pare and seek LEAA approval for comprehensive plans. Fortunately most agree with us tha.t comprehensive planning and LEAA approval of those plans are essential to a comprehensive, integrated effort to improve the entire criminal justice system. Most states agree with us that if we are to provide leadership we must contin1.:le to establish priorities. We intend to do this in cooperation with the states and with local government.s. This is a working partnership, but there are no Usilent partners." Fiscal 1969 operations reflected a program getting under way. Fiscal 1970 operations :reflect a program expanding and growing. Our budget increased in those years from $63 million to $268 million, and will go higher in the future. It's up to us~all of us-to see that this money is well spent. That requires leadership and detailed planning sev6ral years ahead both from LEAA, and all other levels of government. We stand ready to do our part, and we are confident that state and local governments will do theirs. Our task is to reduce the incidence of crime. Today crime is increasing-and our work is just beginning. RICHARD W. VELDE, OLARENCE M.
