The amendment would allow closed circuit tv court proceedings to allow victims to observe criminal trials that have been moved out of state, and adds a new provision to give the FBI the authority to conduct law enforcement training and instruction to foreign law enforcement officers. The amendment would eliminate provisions in the bill relating to the Attorney General's reward authority, and a provision allocating FY 1995 funds for the Department of Justice.
