**I. Overview for General Administration**

Number range CHAPTERFor the General Administration (GA), the Department
of Justice (DOJ) requests a total of 542 permanent positions (121
attorneys), 641 FTE (includes 97 reimbursable), and \$105,805,000 for FY
2009. There are no program increases requested. Electronic copies of the
Department of Justice's Congressional Budget Justifications and Capital
Asset Plan and Business Case exhibits can be viewed or downloaded from
the Internet using the Internet address:
[**http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/2009justification/**](http://www.usdoj.gov/jmd/2009justification/)."

For the General Administration (GA), the primary mission is to support
the Attorney General and DOJ senior policy level officials in managing
Department resources and developing policies for legal, law enforcement,
and criminal justice activities. GA also provides administrative support
services to the legal divisions and policy guidance to all Department
organizations. GA's mission supports every aspect of the DOJ strategic
plan. Most GA offices have significant oversight responsibilities that
shape DOJ policy and influence the way the Department works toward
meeting each of its strategic goals.

GA consists of four decision units: Department Leadership,
Intergovernmental Relations and External Affairs, Executive Support and
Professional Responsibility, and the Justice Management Division.

*Department Leadership*, including the Offices of the Attorney General,
Deputy Attorney General, Privacy and Civil Liberties Office, and
Associate Attorney General, develops policies regarding the
administration of justice in the United States, and directs and oversees
the administration and operation of the Department's bureaus, offices,
and divisions, to ensure DOJ's success in meeting its strategic goals.
These offices also represent the United States in civil and criminal law
matters, and provide advice and opinions on legal issues to the
President, members of Congress, and the heads of Executive Departments
and Agencies.

*Intergovernmental Relations and External Affairs* includes the Offices
of Public Affairs, Legislative Affairs, Information and Policy,
Intergovernmental and Public Liaison, and the Professional
Responsibility Advisory Office (PRAO). These offices conduct legal and
policy analysis in support of initiatives necessary for DOJ to meet its
strategic goals, in the many areas in which the Department has
jurisdiction or responsibilities, and acts as liaison with Federal,
State, local and international governments, law enforcement officials,
the media and Congress on Department activities.

*Executive Support and Professional Responsibility* includes the Offices
of Legal Policy (OLP), and the Office of Professional Responsibility
(OPR). This decision unit plans, develops, and coordinates the
implementation of major policy initiatives of high priority to the
Department and to the Administration; and represents the Department in
the Administration's judicial process for Article III judges. In
addition, decision unit also oversees the investigation of allegations
of criminal and ethical misconduct by the Department's attorneys,
criminal investigators, or other law enforcement personnel.

*Justice Management Division* provides advice to senior DOJ officials
and develops departmental policies in the areas of management and
administration; ensures compliance by DOJ components with departmental
and other Federal policies and regulations; and provides a full range of
management and administration support services.

For performance reporting purposes, resources for GA offices are not
included under one specific goal because, as noted above, GA's mission
supports every aspect of the Department's strategic plan. GA's budget is
integrated with its own priorities as well as the Department's Strategic
Goals and Objectives.

**II. Summary of Program Changes**

***No Program Changes Are Requested.***

**III. Appropriations Language and Analysis of Appropriations Language**

**Appropriations Language**

For expenses necessary for the administration of the Department of
Justice, \$105,805,000, of which not to exceed \$3,317,000 is for
security and construction of Department of Justice facilities, to remain
available until expended: Provided, That the Attorney General is
authorized to transfer funds appropriated within General Administration
to any office in this account: *[Provided further, That no
appropriations for any office within General Administration shall be
increased or decreased by more than 5 percent by all such
transfers:]{.underline}* Provided further, That \$14,313,000 is for
Department Leadership; \$7,868,000 is for Intergovernmental
Relations/External Affairs; \$12,220,000 is for Executive
Support/Professional Responsibility; and \$71,404,000 is for the Justice
Management Division: Provided further, That any change in funding
greater than 5 percent shall be submitted for approval to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations consistent with the terms of section
505 of this Act: Provided further, That this transfer authority is in
addition to transfers authorized under section 505 of this Act.

[]{.mark}

**Analysis of Appropriations Language**

The following language has been deleted from the FY 2008 appropriations
language for FY 2009:

"*[Provided further, That no appropriations for any office within
General Administration shall be increased or decreased by more than 5
percent by all such transfers:"]{.underline}*

This language has been proposed for deletion due to the inefficiencies
it creates in managing financial resources within the General
Administration. In the majority of cases, a 5 percent limit results in a
small amount of funding. In order to react to budgetary demands
throughout the fiscal year, it may be necessary to move funds to meet
the needs of the Department.

It should also be noted that the decision unit amounts do not tie to
MAX. Upon further analysis for the decision unit breakout, it was
determined that initial calculations did not provide adequate resources
in the proper areas. The amounts were recalculated, as identified in the
summary of requirements, and the new decision unit amounts are reflected
in the language above.

    protection of individual civil rights, specifically in the context
    of the Department's counterterrorism and law enforcement efforts,
    and coordinating the work of the Department related to the
    protection of privacy and civil liberties. The PCLO also ensures
    that the appropriate Department personnel receive training on the
    additional privacy and civil liberties protections provided in the
    Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act and will work with the
    Inspector General (IG) to ensure that all reports required by that
    Act regarding privacy and civil liberties are submitted.

    The Associate Attorney General is appointed by the President and is
    subject to confirmation by the Senate. As the third-ranking official
    at the Department of Justice, the ASG is a principal member of the
    Attorney General's senior management team, and advises and assists
    the AG and DAG on the formulation and implementation of DOJ policies
    and programs. The ASG coordinates departmental liaison with the
    White House Staff and prepares recommendations for the consideration
    of the AG for judicial appointments and Presidential appointments
    within the Department. In addition to these duties, the ASG oversees

1.  Number range CHAPTER**Program Description**

Number range CHAPTERThe Intergovernmental Relations/External Affairs
decision unit consists of the Offices of Legal Policy (OLP), and
Professional Responsibility (OPR). These offices support various aspects
of the Department of Justice strategic plan. Specifically, the general
goals and objectives of this decision unit are:

-   Number range CHAPTERTo improve the Department\'s effectiveness in
    providing substantive and timely input on the Administration\'s law
    enforcement initiatives as well as other legislative proposals
    affecting Department responsibilities.

-   Number range CHAPTERTo handle the processing of judicial and other
    nominations efficiently and responsively.

-   Number range CHAPTERTo oversee the investigation of allegations of
    criminal and ethical misconduct by the Department's attorneys,
    criminal investigators, or other law enforcement personnel.

Number range CHAPTERThe Office of Legal Policy (OLP) plans, develops,
and coordinates the implementation of major policy initiatives of high
priority to the Department and to the Administration; and represents the
Department in the Administration's judicial process for Article III
judges. OLP is headed by an Assistant Attorney General who is appointed
by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Number range CHAPTERThe Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR),
which reports directly to the Attorney General, is responsible for
investigating allegations that DOJ attorneys have engaged in misconduct
in connection with their duties to investigate, represent the government
in litigation, or provide legal advice. In addition, OPR has
jurisdiction to investigate allegations of misconduct by law enforcement
personnel when such allegations are related to allegations of attorney
misconduct within the jurisdiction of OPR. OPR's primary objective is to
ensure that DOJ attorneys continue to perform their duties in accordance
with the high professional standards expected of the nation's principal
law enforcement agency. OPR is headed by the Counsel for Professional
Responsibility, who is a career government official. Under the Counsel's
direction, OPR reviews allegations of attorney misconduct involving
violation of any standard imposed by law, applicable rules of
professional conduct, or departmental policy. When warranted, OPR
conducts full investigations of such allegations, and reports its
findings and conclusions to the Attorney General and other appropriate
departmental officials. OPR also oversees the Federal Bureau of
Investigation Office of Professional Responsibility and the Drug
Enforcement Administration Office of Professional Responsibility, and
serves as the Department's contact with state bar disciplinary
organizations. The objectives of the Office of Professional
Responsibility are different from the Office of the Inspector General in
that OPR focuses on investigations concerning allegations of misconduct
which affect the ability of the Department to investigate, litigate, or
prosecute, while the OIG focuses its investigations on allegations of
waste and abuse, and other matters which do not implicate the ability of
the Department to investigate, litigate or prosecute.

Number range CHAPTER**3. Performance, Resources, and Strategies**

The mission of JMD is "Serving Justice by Securing Results with
Strategic Counsel." JMD's performance measures are centered around our
mission and organized in the following performance areas:

-   [Human Capital]{.underline} - to recruit, hire, train, appraise,
    reward, and retain a highly qualified and diverse workforce to
    achieve DOJ's mission objectives.

-   [Financial Management]{.underline} - to achieve a clean audit by
    applying sound financial practices, maintaining strong internal
    controls, and reporting from a standard financial system.

-   [Budget and Performance]{.underline} - to manage DOJ resources using
    integrated budget and performance criteria.

-   [Secure and Consolidated Facilities]{.underline} - to maximize space
    utilization and ensure safe and secure facilities.

**V. E-Gov Initiatives**

The Justice Department is fully committed to the President's Management
Agenda (PMA) and the E-Government initiatives that are integral to
achieving the objectives of the PMA. The E-Government initiatives serve
citizens, business, and federal employees by delivering high quality
services more efficiently at a lower price. The Department is in varying
stages of implementing E-Government solutions and services including
initiatives focused on integrating government wide transactions,
processes, standards adoption, and consolidation of administrative
systems that are necessary tools for agency administration, but are not
core to DOJ's mission. To ensure that DOJ obtains value from the various
initiatives, the Department actively participates in the governance
bodies that direct the initiatives and we communicate regularly with the
other federal agencies that are serving as the "Managing Partners" to
ensure that the initiatives meet the needs of the Department and its
customers. The Department believes that working with other agencies to
implement common or consolidated solutions will help DOJ to reduce the
funding requirements for administrative and public-facing systems,
thereby allowing DOJ to focus more of its scarce resources on higher
priority, mission related needs. DOJ's modest contributions to the
Administration's E-Government projects will facilitate achievement of
this objective.

**A. Funding and Costs**

The Department of Justice participates in the following E-Government
initiatives and Lines of Business:

  --------------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------

The Department of Justice E-Government expenses -- i.e. DOJ's share of
e-Gov initiatives managed by other federal agencies -- are paid for from
the Department's Working Capital Fund. These costs, along with other
internal E-Government related expenses (oversight and administrative
expenses such as salaries, rent, etc.) are reimbursed by the components
to the WCF.

As is evidenced by the number of initiatives listed above, JMD in a
Departmental oversight capacity is heavily involved in E-government
initiatives. JMD aids the Department of Justice and the components in
continuing current initiatives and in developing new initiatives to
achieve further efficiencies through advancements in technology.
