The FY 2002 Intelligence Budget: A Five-Year Plan
The budget request submitted by the President includes a substantial increase for programs funded in the National Foreign Intelligence Program. The Committee believes this funding increase should represent the first installment of a five-year effort to correct serious deficiencies that have developed over the past decade in the Intelligence Community.
In this budget, the Committee seeks to highlight four priority areas that must receive significant attention in the near term if intelligence is to fulfill its role in our national security strategy. Those are:
Revitalizing the National Security Agency (NSA)
Correcting deficiencies in human intelligence
Addressing the imbalance between intelligence collection and analysis, and
Rebuilding a robust research and development program.
The budget lays out a five-year plan for addressing each of these areas.
