   Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

   authorized by title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act

   of 1968 and administered by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration /( 7

   (LEAA), Department of Justice.
/'
        The objective of the act is  simply stated in 12 words: To pre-

   vent crime and to insure the greater safety of the people.

        Declaring crime to be essentially a local problem, the act provides

   for planning and law enforcement grants to State and local governments,

   namely:

        --planning grants to State Planning Agencies for development

          of State-wide comprehensive plans which establish priority

          programs for the improvement of law enforcement throughout

          each State.
