Excerpt from Witness Protection Programs in America: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Crime of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session on Witness Protection Programs in America, November 7, 1996 Mr. Mccollum. This hearing of the Subcommittee on Crime will come to order. I will ask everybody to be happy that we are here in the sunshine today. Our colleagues that have come down from the North tell me that the weather is not nearly so nice there. I welcome you to Orlando, gentlemen. The oversight hearing of this subcommittee today is one that is of a very important nature to not only Florida and our area, but to the Nation. I extend a special welcome to everybody who is here. I want to express my special appreciation to Mayor Glenda Hood for letting us use these chambers today. We do not often have an opportunity as congressmen to sit in commission chambers, so my chair is not hiked up as high, and I do not get to look down as far. We are more with the people than we normally would be. Our hearing today provides us with an opportunity to examine witness protection programs, one of the indispensable tools to com bat violent crime. Successful prosecution of cases depends on the quality of evidence that the State can produce, as well as on the cooperative testimony of the witnesses.
