| Civil Defensive Litigation | 28 | 14 | $2,000 |
| An
increase of 28 positions (17 attorneys), 14 workyears and $2,000,000 is requested
for civil defensive litigation. This increase is necessary to meet the rise in
civil defensive caseload, and will ensure that U.S. Attorneys have adequate resources
to defend the government from unwarranted claims against the federal treasury
and to settle bona fide claims for an appropriate amount. Civil defensive work
is non-discretionary and non-delegable. | |||
| IT Infrastructure | ... | ... | 11000 |
| An increase
of $11,000,000 is requested for the third and final phase of the overall telecommunications
convergence initiative - implementing Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony. The
additional resources will enable U.S. Attorneys to complete the first of a four-year
USA-wide voice communications systems conversion which will enable USA to share
data among components. Upon completion, this conversion will give U.S. Attorneys
the ability to encrypt all transmissions, the ability to share resources and utilize
bandwidth more efficiently, and accomplish a reduction in overall operating and
maintenance costs due to having a common, standardized telecommunications architecture.
Other benefits include the ability to connect to and optimize remote databases
and provide increased training opportunities through distance learning. | |||
