Mr. Chairman, I believe that this amendment adds an important factor to the list that we are considering regarding high-risk accused. Mental health experts made clear in their briefs and in their testimony before us that the risk posed by an individual with mental illness is significantly diminished if the individual benefits from adequate resources and supports. Thus, we believe the availability of such resources should be taken into account when making determinations with respect to an NCR-accused.
