BRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judge,
concurring specially.
I concur specially.
Although I joined Judge Heaney’s initial opinion for the panel, on reconsideration and in light of the Government’s acknowledgment set forth in footnote 3 of the en *967banc opinion, I concur in the opinion by the full court.
The United States, under the panel opinion, would receive all of the $120,000.00 here in question. The Government’s position on this appeal, as sustained, will serve to share these funds with state and local law enforcement agencies under 21 U.S.C. § 881(e)(1). The sentence obligations of the defendant, however, will not change.
