Intel Request

By Thomas Duffy / February 14, 2012 at 2:51 PM

As it has for the past several years, the office of the Director of National Intelligence yesterday released its budget request for the upcoming fiscal year. In 2013 the DNI is asking for $52.6 billion in aggregate appropriations. The DNI also added the following statement:

Any and all subsidiary information concerning the National Intelligence Program (NIP) budget, whether the information concerns particular intelligence agencies or particular intelligence programs, will not be disclosed. Beyond the disclosure of the NIP top-line figure, there will be no other disclosures of currently classified budget information because such disclosures could harm national security. The only exceptions to the foregoing are for existing unclassified appropriations, such as for the Intelligence Community Management Account.
