ODNI announces FY19 National Intelligence Program appropriations request

Consistent with Section 601 of the Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, as amended (50 U.S.C. 3306), the Director of National Intelligence disclosed to the public the aggregate amount of appropriations requested for Fiscal Year 2019 on February 27.

The aggregate amount of appropriations requested for the FY 2019 National Intelligence Program is $59.9 billion, which includes funding requested to support Overseas Contingency Operations.

Any and all subsidiary information concerning the 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 NIP budget information because such disclosures could harm national security. The only exceptions to the foregoing are for unclassified appropriations, such as for the Intelligence Community Management Account.
