mr. boswell: thank you. i'd like to thank chairman mollohan and ranking member wolf for their hard work on h.r. 2847, the commerce, justice, science, and related agencies appropriations act of 2010. this amendment would provide an increase of $2.5 million for the national criminal history improvement program. i have brought this issue to the floor for several years now and it consistently receives bipartisan support. i thank my colleagues for their continued support and their commitment to law enforcement officers and public safety. i believe that this increase is incredibly important for law enforcement. we must ensure that the intelligence officers are up to date and accurate. the national criminal history improvement program ensures that states improve their infrastructure to connect to the national record system. it helps protect our most vulnerable populations by improving law enforcement's ability to identify persons ineligible to hold positions involving children or the disabled or elderly. it helps la
