Mr. CAPUANO. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

This is a very simple amendment that will simply specifically authorize the Attorney General to make grants to State and local prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to help the young witnesses that have the courage and temerity to stand up to crime when they see it, to do the right thing in their community.

Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?

Mr. CAPUANO. I yield to the gentleman from Wisconsin.

Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Chairman, this is also a very good amendment. The gentleman from Massachusetts is also batting 1.000. We are happy to accept it, and he should play for the Red Sox, too.

Mr. CAPUANO. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.

The CHAIRMAN. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Capuano).

The amendment was agreed to.
