TEXT:
When you have a chance, let me know what anyone is thinking about a SAP on
VAWA in the Senate.
If the Senate brings up its own bill, we have a 1 and 1/4 page SAP pretty
much ready for final clearance, but I don't know if you'd want to tighten
it up a bit, like with the House SAP. Plus, since the House passed its
bill, the SAP could be changed to reflect that.
Let me know.
Of course, if the Senate brings up the same bill, there's nothing to worry
about.
Anyway, here's where the Senate SAP is at:
The Administration strongly supports Senate passage of S. 2787, which
would reauthorize through 2005 the critically important programs created
by the original Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and by subsequent
legislation. VAWA has been an important tool in the Nation's effort to
combat domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault, and has made a
crucial difference in the lives of countless women and children.
The Administration is especially pleased that the bill would make
important improvements to VAWA, including: authorization for a legal
assistance program for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and
stalking; a set-aside of five percent of grant funds for tribes under the
STOP (Services, Training, Officers, Prosecutors) Formula Grant Program and
three other discretionary grant programs; protections for battered
immigrants; changes to VAWA criminal provisions and full faith and
credit provisions to improve the Administration's ability to prosecute
effectively interstate crimes of domestic violence and stalking, and to
eliminate barriers to enforcement of protection orders issued in other
jurisdictions; and reauthorization of the Family Violence Prevention and
Services Act (FVPSA) grant programs, including the battered women1,
