(B) While H.R. 2880, the continuing appropriation
measure funding certain operations of the Federal Government from January 26, 1996 to March 15, 1996, included
$66,000,000 to reimburse States for the cost of incarcerating documented illegal immigrant felons, the Department
of Justice failed to disburse any of the funds to the States
during the period of the continuing appropriation.
(2) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—I t is the sense of the Congress that—
(A) the Department of Justice was disturbingly slow
in disbursing fiscal year 1995 funds under the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program to States after the initial

(B) the Attorney General should make it a high priority
to expedite the disbursement of Federal funds intended
to reimburse States for the cost of incarcerating illegal
immigrants, aiming for all State Criminal Alien Assistance
Program funds to be disbursed during the fiscal year for
which they are appropriated.
