  Intelligence Policy and Professional Responsibility
  Office of Intelligence Policy and Review 12 6 $2,000
  The Office of Intelligence Policy and Review request includes 12 positions, 6 FTE, and $2,000,000 for increased operational support to the FBI in its investigation of terrorism, primarily through the application for warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, including funding for information technology improvements. The Office of Intelligence Policy and Review, under the direction of the Counsel for Intelligence Policy, is responsible for advising the Attorney General on all matters relating to the national security activities of the United States. The Office prepares and files all applications for electronic surveillance and physical search under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, assists Government agencies by providing legal advice on matters of national security law and policy, and represents the Department of Justice on a variety of interagency committees such as the National Counterintelligence Policy Board. The Office also comments on and coordinates other agencies' views regarding proposed legislation affecting intelligence matters. The Office serves as adviser to the Attorney General and various client agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, the FBI, and the Defense and State Departments, concerning questions of law, regulation, and guidelines as well as the legality of domestic and overseas intelligence operations. Counterterrorism-related casework generated from new FBI positions is anticipated to have a downstream effect on the Office through increased requests for FISA surveillance and searches, and possible requests for the Office to review legislation and coordinate working groups.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Justice Management Division
  Consolidated Financial Management System ... ... 15,000
  The Justice Management Division (JMD) request includes $15,000,000 for a Unified Financial Management System that standardizes core financial management across the Department. A phased implementation to a JFMIP-certified COTS core financial management system implemented in all Department of Justice bureaus and components, with the exception of Federal Prison Industries, is envisioned beginning in early FY 2004. Four of the Department's current systems have financial audit material weaknesses in internal controls, accounting standards and/or system security. Many of the financial management systems currently in use across the Department are nearing the end of their life cycle, so it is an ideal time to begin to move to a single and unified system. Moving to a modern, efficient, core financial management system that complies with federal accounting and systems standards will: (1) improve financial management performance across the Department; (2) strengthen internal financial systems and standardize basic financial management practices; and (3) provide managers better information that will promote the efficient and effective use of resources to ensure public trust and confidence.
  RFK Building Security ... ... 6,517
  The JMD request also includes $6,517,000 for perimeter barriers for the RFK Justice Building and contract guard services to improve security measures. These resources will be used to replace the temporary concrete planters that were installed after the destruction of the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City and subsequent attacks on U.S. facilities overseas. The RFK Justice Building was constructed with a proximity to vehicular traffic that makes it vulnerable to bomb blasts. Given today's heightened threat level, the new perimeter barriers will mitigate these concerns. These resources will also be used for contract guard services and completion of the Pennsylvania Avenue visitor center. Recognizing the critical nature of building security in the wake of 9/11, the Department reprogrammed funds in FY 2003 for security hardening and contract guard costs. It is imperative that ongoing funding is established to fund the recurring annual costs of these contract guard services.

  Program Offsets      
  Crosscutting Efficiencies ... ... -$128
  The Justice Management Division program budget includes an offset of $128,000. This reduction consists of anticipated savings that will result from efficiencies. Some of the areas targeted for savings include: Facilities Management, JCN/WAN IT, Human Resources, and Centralized Procurement. The Department continues to evaluate its programs and operations with the goal of achieving across-the-board economies of scale that result in increased efficiencies, reduced duplication of efforts, and cost savings. The crosscutting savings identified impact the majority of the components in the Department, and are the result of improving business practices in the following way: consolidation of facility management, including optimization of work space standards and the consolidation/collocation of field space; improved deployment of human resources personnel across Department components; the consolidation of duplicative IT support functions and services performed by components using the JCN WAN; and centralized procurement for relocation of services, including household storage/shipment and residence contracts.
