* No amounts are shown for FY 2006, because NSD is proposed as a new appropriation account for FY 2007 - including the consolidation of resources of the Office of Intelligence Policy & Review and the Criminal Division's Counterterrorism (CTS) and Counterespionage (CES) Sections.
                                                           
FY 2007 Current Services
The National Security Division (NSD) is a new component of the Department of Justice, to be created in 2006 (pending legislation). The core mission of NSD is to coordinate the Department's efforts to combat terrorism and protect national security. NSD is responsible for assisting the Attorney General and other senior Department and Executive Branch officials in ensuring that the national security-related activities of the U.S. are consistent with relevant law; overseeing terrorism investigations and prosecutions; and handling counterespionage cases and matters. With no NSD funding included in the FY 2006 enacted appropriation, the Department must reprogram funds to stand up the executive leadership and direction as well as administrative functions of NSD. For 2007, the resources of the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review and the Criminal Division's Counterterrorism and Counterespionage Sections are consolidated into a separate appropriation account for NSD.
                                                           
Program Increases by Strategic Goal                                            
                                                           
Strategic Goal One: Prevent Terrorism and Promote the Nation’s Security   68   46   $19,281
                                                           

1. National Security Investigations
The Division is requesting 30 positions (21 attorneys), 15 FTE, and $7,428,000 to meet the increased workload of intelligence searches and surveillances, conduct vigorous oversight of the intelligence community, and monitor the FBI's foreign intelligence and counter intelligence investigations. Preventing terrorism and promoting the nation's security is the Department's top strategic goal and the Division's mission is focused on achieving that goal.

2. Office of the AAG and EO
The Division is requesting 22 positions (2 attorneys), 22 FTE, and $10,000,000 to permanently fund an Office of the Assistant Attorney General and an Executive Office to provide management direction and accountability. Additional resources are required in order to establish the executive and management functions of the Division with permanent funding. It is critical that the national security programs and activities of the Division have adequate oversight and management, including in the areas of information technology, legal policy, human resources, budget, finance, security, and facilities. No lapse in personnel costs are assumed for this initiative, since it is anticipated that the requested personnel will be on-board by the start of FY 2007 via detailees to stand up the OAAG and Executive Office as soon as possible.

3. Proliferation Security Initiative
The Division is requesting 9 positions (7 attorneys), 5 FTE, and $1,052,000 to ensure that proliferation/export cases with prosecutive potential are identified and aggressively pursued. Strengthening America's ability to prevent espionage and the illegal procurement of proliferation technologies will complement the Administration's Actions to Implement WMD Commission Recommendations and Executive Order 13328 (June 29, 2005).

4. Counterterrorism Investigations Coordination
The NSD request 7 positions (5 attorneys), 4 FTE, and $801,000 to investigate and prosecute cases combating the growing threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, terrorist financing, victims of overseas terrorism, and domestic terrorism plots. Terrorism prosecutors depend on the Division to apprise them of nationwide trends, help them establish counterterrorism strategies and priorities, and raise issues that require resolution by the Department. In addition, we play a significant role in overseeing the Crisis Management Coordinator program and in Department preparedness as well as in domestic and international special events planning and preparedness. The Division needs resources to support these critical Crisis Management Coordinator programs.
