The information was announced in the White House teleconference yesterday by Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder. In the 2015 $3.9 trillion budget, the administration is asking the Republican controlled Congress to approve $35 million to resolve the backlog.
Holder said, wishfully, that partisan politics should not play role in this decision. Story in the works for the WORD, which participated in the conference call.
