What caused it to increase by more than a MAGNITUDE?

*   "Above the Law", by David Burnham, ISBN 0-684-80699-1, 1996
*   
*   In June 1989, the Deputy Attorney General ordered the nation's U.S.
*   attorneys to "take all possible actions" on forfeitures, even if it meant
*   dropping other matters. "You will be expected to divert personnel from
*   other activities."
*   
*   One year later, the Attorney General himself warned the U.S. attorneys
*   that the Justice Department had fallen far behind its budget projection
*   in the collection of assets. "We must significantly increase production
*   to reach our budget target... Failure to achieve the $470 million
*   projection would expose the Department's forfeiture program to criticism
*   and undermine confidence in our budget projections. Every effort must be
*   made to increase forfeiture income during the remaining three months of
*   fiscal year 1990."
*
*   In addition, forfeiture activities affect how many federal prosecutors
*   will be allocated to each U.S. Attorney by the Justice Department.
