             June 9, 1995

             The Honorable Bill McCollum
             Chairman, Subcommittee on Crime
             Committee on the Judiciary
             House of Representatives

             Dear Mr. Chairman:

             This letter is in response to your letter of February 28,
             1995, requesting that we estimate formula grant amounts as
             provided for in H.R. 728, the Local Government Law
             Enforcement Block Grants Act. In a subsequent meeting,
             your staff also asked that we use those estimates to
             calculate which local governments could trigger the
             provisions in the Chabot-Lofgren Amendment.

             Under separate cover, we have provided computer lists
             showing all eligible local governments and their estimated
             grant awards under H.R. 728 and identified those
             potentially subject to the Chabot-Lofgren Amendment. We
             found that approximately 6 percent of eligible governments
             are potentially affected by the amendment. However, these
             governments would receive approximately 53 percent of the
             funds allocated under H.R. 728.

             In the enclosure, we describe the provisions of the Chabot-
             Lofgren Amendment and provide a state-by-state summary of
             the number of governments potentially affected and the
             percentage of funds allocated to those governments. The
             amendment would have no effect in nine states and could
             affect up to 93 percent of total funding in Illinois.
