DNI Releases Budget Figure for 2008 National Intelligence Program
Consistent with Section 601 of the "Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007," Public Law 110-53, the Director of National Intelligence
is disclosing to the public the aggregate amount of funds appropriated by
Congress to the National Intelligence Program (NIP) for fiscal year 2008
not later than 30 days after the end of the fiscal year.
The aggregate amount appropriated to the NIP for fiscal year 2008 was $47.5
Billion.
Any and all subsidiary information concerning the intelligence budget, whether
the information concerns particular intelligence agencies or particular
intelligence programs, will not be disclosed. Beyond the disclosure
of the top-line figure, there will be no other disclosures of currently
classified budget information because such disclosures could harm national
security. The only exceptions to the foregoing are for unclassified
appropriations, primarily for the Community Management Account.
