(8) During floor debate, conservative Texas leg-
islators pointed out that Mosaic law requires cor-
roboration: ‘‘One witness shall not rise up against a 
man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that 
he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the 
mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be estab-
lished.’’ Deuteronomy 19:15. Jesus concurred with 
the corroboration rule: ‘‘If thy brother shall trespass 
against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee 
and him alone. . . . But if he will not hear thee, then 
take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth 
of two or three witnesses every word may be estab-
lished.’’ Matthew 18:15–16. 
(9) Texas’s ‘‘corroboration’’ law had an imme-
diate positive impact. Once prosecutors needed more 
than just the word of one person to convict someone 
of a drug offense they began scrutinizing law en-
forcement tactics. This new scrutiny led to the un-
covering of massive corruption and civil rights abuse 
by the Dallas police force. In what became known 
nationally as the ‘‘Sheetrock’’ scandal, Dallas police 
officers and undercover informants were found to 
have set up dozens of innocent people, mostly Mexi-
can immigrants, by planting fake drugs on them 
consisting of chalk-like material used in Sheetrock

the Congressional Budget Act of 1974; 
(2) the design of the budget process has led to

abuses inherent in their operation. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) grants under the Byrne grants program 
should be prohibited for States that do not exercise 
effective control over antidrug task forces; 
(2) at a minimum, no State that fails to pro-
hibit criminal convictions based solely on the testi-
mony of a law enforcement officer or informants 
should receive a grant under such program; and 
(3) corroborative evidence, such as video or 
audio tapes, drugs, and money, should always be re-
quired for such criminal convictions to be sustained.
