 Proposed Changes to Congressional Budget
Justification Boo s
During November 1981, the Committee staff received a briefing from
Congressional Budget Justification (CBJ) books for the National Foreign Intel-
would
ligence Program. These proposed changes, being recommended by the DCI,
format the CBJ into a target/subject topics format. The targets would be
set forth geographically by the various areas of the world where our intelli-
gence interests lie, and the funding and intelligence assets devoted to each
intelligence Committee Staff personnel on proposed format changes to the
geographic area would be depicted.
However, covert action activities, use

of Reserve for Contingencies, counterintelligence, and contingency efforts would
be displayed in a separate section and, therefore, would not be included in
the target areas. Items such as international studies and support also would
be displayed in separate sections. Furthermore, there would be no effort to
incorporate any of our tactical assets, such as U-2 and SR-71 reconnaissance
aircraft, and the coverage and contribution they perform in these same target
areas of the world. This is one of the reasons Congress specified the intelli-
gence related activities aggregation. For example, if a U-2 or SR-71 can
uniquely perform a particular intelligence mission, it might preclude the neces-
sity of building a costly national overhead satellite.
The Committee staff was informed that the new CBJ format would be par-
tially implemented in fiscal year 1983 with the inclusion of the target/subject
display in the NFIP overview volume. The conversion is planned for full
implementation with submission of the fiscal year 1984 budget. However, it
was not clear as to exactly how this new format will be displayed in fiscal
year 1984.
This format change was discussed with the Committee during mark-up of
the fiscal year 1982 NFIP budget. It was the considered judgment of the
Committee that no format changes be made to the CBJ books. There was total
agreement that the CBJ books are prepared at the request of the Congress for
use by Members and staffs of the Committees of Congress having oversight juris-
diction of the intelligence community. They are not to be changed except at
the direction of the Congress to facilitate review of the NFIP budget. The
proposed change would tend to obscure rather than illuminate the NFIP programs.
Having said that, the Committee recognizes that a display of the NFIP in
the format proposed could serve as an excellent management tool by the DCI in
annually reviewing his overall program. Such a display could pinpoint areas of
the world where intelligence assets are insufficiently to effect
adequate coverage, and other areas of the world where more than sufficient

assets are available than are needed a& required. Such a targets/subject
topics display in the NFIP overview volume would appear to be of interest to
Congress in helping assess weaknesses and strong points in our intelligence
coverage. The Committee would have no objection to the NFIP overview volume
containing a presentation along the lines proposed. However, it would appear
to be particularly helpful to also include such topics as covert action, use
of reserve funds,, and research and development efforts designed to enhance
our overall intelligence coverage in the various areas of the world in such a
display. Furthermore, the Committee would have no objection in having the DCI
overview statement each year reflect the NFIP along the target/subject topics
format. However, the Committee does not wish to have the CBJ books, beyond the
NFIP overview volume, changed along the lines proposed for the reasons set forth
earlier.
