**I. Overview for General Administration**

For the General Administration (GA), the Department of Justice (DOJ)
requests a total of 542 permanent positions (121 attorneys), 641 FTE,
and \$104,777,000 for FY 2008. This request represents an increase of
\$66,897,000 over the \$37,880,000 estimate for enactment of the FY 2007
President=s budget. The Division is requesting no program improvements
for FY 2008. Beginning in FY 2007, electronic copies of the DOJ
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/2008justification/.

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. As the result of restructuring
requested in FY 2007, GA consists of three decision units: Department
Leadership, Executive Support/Professional Responsibility, and Justice
Management Division. In FY 2008, National Drug Intelligence Center
(NDIC) will be submitting a separate budget request.

*Department Leadership*, including the Offices of the Attorney General,
Deputy Attorney General, 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.

*Executive Support and Professional Responsibility* includes the Offices
of Legal Policy, Public Affairs, Legislative Affairs, Information and
Privacy, Intergovernmental and Public Liaison, and beginning in FY 2007,
the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) 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. This 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. Resources for each
Strategic Goal and Objective that GA supports are provided under each
decision unit. The [total]{.underline} costs include the following:

-   The direct costs of all outputs

-   Indirect costs

-   Common administrative systems

The FY 2008 request for *Department Leadership* includes 45 positions,
46 workyears, and \$12,684,000.

The FY 2008 request for *Executive Support and Professional
Responsibility* includes 108 positions, 108 workyears, and \$19,496,000.

The FY 2008 request for the *Justice Management Division* includes, 389
positions, 390 workyears, and \$72,597,000.

**1. Program Description**

The Department Leadership Program includes the Office of the Attorney
General (AG), the Office of the Deputy Attorney General (DAG), and the
Office of the Associate Attorney General (ASG). These offices support
every aspect of the DOJ Strategic Plan and, therefore, are included
under Enabling/Administrative instead of a particular goal.
Specifically, the general goals and objectives of the Department
Leadership are:

-   Advise the President on Constitutional matters and legal issues
    involving the execution of the laws of the United States.

-   Formulate and implement policies and programs that advice the
    administration of justice in the United States.

-   Manage the Department of Justice.

-   Provide executive-level leadership in: the prevention of terrorism;
    the continuing war on drugs; combating violent crimes; investigating
    and prosecuting fraud and other white collar crimes; diminishing
    prison overcrowding; and, enforcing environmental and civil rights
    laws.

-   Provide executive-level oversight and management of: international
    law enforcement training and assistance; financial institutions,
    reform, recovery, and enforcement programs; and investigative
    policy.

-   Coordinate criminal justice matters with Federal, State, and local
    law enforcement and criminal justice agencies.

-   Investigate, process, and make recommendations to the President on
    candidates for judicial and Justice Department Presidential
    appointments.

-   Prepare and disseminate an Annual Report to the congress and the
    public regarding the programs and accomplishments of the Department
    of Justice.

The Attorney General, as head of the DOJ, is the nation=s chief law
enforcement officer and is appointed by the President, with the advice
and consent of the Senate. The AG furnishes advice and opinions on legal
matters to the President and the Cabinet and to the heads of the
executive departments and agencies of the government, as provided by
law, and makes recommendations to the President concerning appointments
within the Department, including U.S. Attorneys and U.S. Marshals. The
AG appears in person to represent the Government before the U.S. Supreme
Court in cases of exceptional gravity or importance, and supervises the
representation of the Government in the Supreme Court and all other
courts, foreign and domestic, in which the United States is a party or
has an interest as may be deemed appropriate. The AG also supervises and
directs the administration and operation of the DOJ, including the
Federal Bureau of Investigation; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; Bureau of Prisons; Office of Justice
Programs; U.S. Attorneys; and U.S. Marshals Service.

The Deputy Attorney General advises and assists the AG in formulating
and implementing Department policies and programs and in providing
overall supervision and direction to all organizational units of the
Department. The DAG is appointed by the President and confirmed by the
Senate and is the second-ranking official of the Department. The DAG
exercises all the power and authority of the AG unless any such power of
authority is required by law to be exercised by the AG personally or has
been specifically delegated exclusively to another Department official.
The DAG exercises the power and authority vested in the AG to take final
action in matters specifically pertaining to: (1) the employment,
separation, and general administration of personnel in the Senior
Executive Service (SES) and of attorneys and law students regardless of
grade or pay (2) the appointment of special attorneys and special
assistants to the AG; (3) the appointment of Assistant U.S. Trustees and
fixing of their compensation; and, (4) the approval of the appointment
by U.S. Trustees of standing trustees and the fixing of their maximum
annual compensation and percentage fees as provided in 28 U.S.C. 586
(e). The DAG also coordinates departmental liaison with White House
staff and the Executive Office of the President; and coordinates and
controls the Department=s reaction to terrorism and civil disturbances.

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 the work of the Civil, Civil
Rights, Antitrust, Tax, and Environment and Natural Resources Divisions.
This office also has oversight responsibility for the Office of Justice
Programs, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the Office
of Dispute Resolution, the Office of Information and Privacy, the
Community Relations Service, the Executive Office for U.S. Trustees, and
the General Administration.

**1. Program Description**

The Executive Support and Professional Responsibility program consists
of the Offices of Legal Policy (OLP), Public Affairs (PAO), Legislative
Affairs (OLA), Professional Responsibility (OPR), and Intergovernmental
and Public Liaison (OIPL), as well as the Office of Information and
Privacy (OIP) and the Professional Responsibility Advisory Office
(PRAO), which are currently fully reimbursable offices. These offices
support every aspect of the Department of Justice strategic plan.
Specifically, the general goals and objectives of the Executive Support
are:

-   To 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.

-   To improve the process of reviewing and clearing through the
    Department legislative proposals initiated by other agencies within
    the Administration.

-   To maintain an efficient and responsive legislative liaison service
    operation.

-   To handle the processing of judicial and other nominations
    efficiently and responsively.

-   To provide support in advancing the Administration\'s overall
    legislative agenda.

-   To assure policy consistency and coordination of Departmental
    initiatives, briefing materials, and policy statements.

-   To disseminate timely, accurate information about the Department,
    the AG and the Administration\'s law enforcement priorities,
    policies and activities to the news media and the general public.

-   To enhance and promote the enforcement goals of the Department
    through distribution of news releases, coordinating press
    conferences and telephone and video conferences announcing
    indictments, settlements, and statements on civil rights,
    environment, criminal, antitrust, and other Department enforcement
    activities.

-   To ensure that all applicable laws, regulations and policies
    involving the release of information to the public are followed so
    that material is not made public that might jeopardize
    investigations and prosecutions, violate rights of defendants or
    potential defendants or compromise national security interests.

-   To oversee the investigation of allegations of criminal and ethical
    misconduct by the Department=s attorneys, criminal investigators, or
    other law enforcement personnel.

The 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.

The Office of Public Affairs (PAO) is the principle point of contact for
DOJ with the public and the news media. PAO is responsible for ensuring
the public is informed about the Department=s activities and about the
priorities and policies of the AG with regard to law enforcement and
legal affairs. Its staff advises the AG and other Departmental officials
on all aspects of media relations and communications issues. The Office
also coordinates the public affairs units for Departmental component.
PAO also prepares and issues Department news releases and frequently
reviews and approves those issued by components. It serves reporters
assigned to the Department by responding to queries, issuing news
releases and statements, arranging interviews, and conducting news
conferences. PAO ensures that information provided to the news media by
the Department is current, complete, and accurate. It also ensures that
all applicable laws, regulations, and policies involving the release of
information to the public are followed so that the maximum disclosure is
made without jeopardizing investigations and prosecutions, violating
rights of individuals, or compromising national security interests.

The Office of Legislative Affairs (OLA) has responsibility for devising
and implementing the legislative strategy to carry out the AG=s
initiatives requiring Congressional action. Similarly, OLA articulates
the views of the Department, including the components, on Congressional
legislative initiatives. OLA responds for the Department to requests and
inquiries from Congressional committees, individual congressional
members, and their staffs. It coordinates Congressional oversight
activities involving the Department, as well as the appearances of
Department witnesses and the interagency clearance of all Congressional
testimony. OLA participates in the Senate confirmation process for the
federal judges and Department nominees, such as Assistant Attorney
General and U.S. Attorneys.

The 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.

The Office of Intergovernmental and Public Liaison (OIPL) coordinates
the AG=s and other leadership officials= relationships with state and
local governments and the interest groups which represent them; provides
advice on strategic planning of the AG=s public appearances; performs
speech writing duties for the AG and the DAG; provides event planning
and consulting services to the AG and the DAG; and advises and assists
the White House, as required, on these same issues. The Office is headed
by a Director who is appointed by the AG.

The Office of Information and Privacy (OIP) was established as an
independent office in 1993. It manages departmental responsibilities
related to the Freedom of Information (FOIA) and the Privacy Act. These
responsibilities include coordinating and implementing policy
development and compliance governmentwide for the FOIA, and
Departmentwide for the Privacy Act. The Office decides all appeals from
denials by any Department component of access to information under these
two Acts.

The Professional Responsibility Advisory Office (PRAO) is dedicated to
resolving professional responsibility issues faced by Department
attorneys and Assistant United States Attorneys. PRAO ensures prompt,
consistent advice to Department leadership, government attorneys and
Assistant United States Attorneys with respect to areas of professional
responsibility and choice-of-law issues. It assembles and maintains the
codes of ethics, including all relevant interpretative decisions and bar
opinions of the District of Columbia and every state and territory, and
other reference materials and serves as a central repository for briefs
and pleadings as cases arise; provides coordination with the litigating
components of the Department to defend attorneys in any disciplinary or
other hearings where it is alleged that they failed to meet their
ethical obligations; and serves as liaison with the state and federal
bar associations in matters related to the implementation and
interpretation of the Ethical Standards for Prosecutors Act and any
amendments and revisions to the various state ethics codes. PRAO is
headed by a Director who is a career government executive.

**3. Performance, Resources, and Strategies**

**a. Performance Plan and Report for Outcomes**

OPR adopted a goal of closing 80 investigations or more each year and at
the urging of the Department=s leadership, expanded its goal to include
the closing of investigations within 12 months and inquiries within 6
months. While OPR has met the productivity goal of closing 80 or more
each year, staffing levels in recent years have not allowed OPR to meet
the timeliness goal. As a result, approximately one third of pending
investigations are over 12 months old and one third of pending inquiries
are over 6 months old. Thus, while OPR continues to produce top quality
work, which is essential in light of its mission, its staffing level has
prevented it from meeting its goals for timeliness, which are equally
critical. Because the more complex investigations OPR handles require
significant time and resources to complete, many of the new
investigations OPR initiates must wait too many months until an
investigating attorney is freed from older pending investigations.
