fiscal year 1998, $20,900,000 was spent on publicly funded

drug treatment in the District compared to $29,000,000 in

fiscal year 1993. The District’s Addiction and Prevention and

Recovery Agency currently has only 2,200 treatment slots, a

50 percent drop from 1994, with more than 1,100 people on

waiting lists.

escapes from halfway houses. According to Department of

Corrections records, between October 21, 1998 and January

19, 1999, 376 of the 1,125 inmates assigned to halfway houses

walked away. Nearly 280 of the 376 escapees were awaiting

trial including two charged with murder.

(4) The District of Columbia public schools system faces

serious challenges in correcting chronic problems, particularly

long-standing deficiencies in providing special education services to the 1 in 10 District students needing program benefits,

including backlogged assessments, and repeated failure to meet

a compliance agreement on special education reached with the

Department of Education.

from cleaning streets to waiting time at Department of Motor

of dollars in Federal grants after Federal auditors determined

that several agencies exceeded grant restrictions and in other

instances, failed to spend funds before the grants expired.

(7) Findings of a 1999 report by the Annie E. Casey Foundation that measured the well-being of children reflected that,

with one exception, the District ranked worst in the United

States in every category from infant mortality to the rate

of teenage births to statistics chronicling child poverty.

(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress

that in considering the District of Columbia’s fiscal year 2001

budget, the Congress will take into consideration progress or lack

of progress in addressing the following issues:

(1) Crime, including the homicide rate, implementation

of community policing, the number of police officers on local

beats, and the closing down of open-air drug markets.

(2) Access to drug abuse treatment, including the number

of treatment slots, the number of people served, the number

of people on waiting lists, and the effectiveness of treatment

programs.

(3) Management of parolees and pretrial violent offenders,

including the number of halfway house escapes and steps taken

to improve monitoring and supervision of halfway house residents to reduce the number of escapes.

(4) Education, including access to special education services

and student achievement.

(5) Improvement in basic city services, including rat control

and abatement.

(6) Application for and management of Federal grants.

(7) Indicators of child well-being.
