This report describes funds that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) allocated and obligated for fiscal years 1995 through 1998 for domestic and international counterterrorism activities.
Abstract
The report also includes plans for FBI counterterrorism expenditures in fiscal year 1999. The specific amount of funds allocated and obligations incurred was difficult to determine with precision because: (1) The FBI’s appropriation language had not specifically identified a separate or total amount available for counterterrorism and, for most years, only established a minimum that must be spent on counterterrorism-related activities, foreign intelligence and national security; (2) Some of the funds were allocated to functions such as training and forensic services that support multiple FBI missions; and (3) The FBI had not been specifically required to identify or account separately for total funds used for counterterrorism-related activities. However, from fiscal 1995 to 1998 the FBI had allocated an estimated $1.66 billion of its available funds to carry out its counterterrorism mission and expected to allocate about $609 million in fiscal 1999.
