The total number of reimbursable FTE reflected in Exhibit B, Summary of Requirements, differs from what is in the FY 2009 President's Budget Appendix, Program and Financial Schedule, because USA's reimbursable partners increased reimbursable FTE after the MAX database was finalized. Exhibit H, Summary of Reimbursable Resources also reflects these increases.

1. Southwest Border Enforcement Initiative

The U.S. Attorneys request $8,400,000 and 83 positions (42 FTE), which includes 50 attorneys and 33 paralegals, to support the Department's Southwest Border Enforcement Initiative. Federal prosecution of border crime is a critical part of our Nation's defense and gaining operational control of the border is essential. The 1,933 miles of the Southwest Border, which includes the United States Attorneys' Offices for the Southern District of California, the Southern District of Texas, the Western District of Texas, and the Districts of Arizona and New Mexico, is particularly vulnerable to the operation of cross-border criminal enterprises including human and drug smuggling and to an enormous number of illegal aliens. Additional AUSAs and paralegals are needed to respond to a steadily increasing case load generated by additional law enforcement resources and aggressive enforcement of the immigration statutes. FY 2009 current services resources are 328 positions (223 attorneys), 298 FTE, and $50,270,180; total FY 2009 resources are 411 positions (273 attorneys), 340 FTE, and $58,670,180.
