9/11 Bill Requires Intelligence Budget Disclosure
From Secrecy News:
For the first time since it began debating the issue more than three decades ago, Congress is now poised to adopt legislation that will require -- not merely recommend -- public disclosure of the total national intelligence budget."Not later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2007, the Director of National Intelligence shall disclose to the public the aggregate amount of funds appropriated by Congress for the National Intelligence Program for such fiscal year," states the House-Senate conference agreement on H.R. 1 (section 601), the massive bill to implement recommendations of the 9/11 Commission.
