(1) Consistent with section 601(a) of the Imple-
menting Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission 
Act of 2007 (50 U.S.C. 3306(a)), the recent practice 
of the intelligence community has been to release to

submits to Congress a budget for a fiscal year 
pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, United 
States Code, the ‘‘top-line’’ amount of total fund-
ing requested for the National Intelligence Pro-
gram for such fiscal year; and

(1) despite the difficulty of compiling and releas-
ing to the public comprehensive information on the 
resource commitments of the United States to counter-
terrorism activities and programs, including with re-
spect to such activities and programs of the intel-

could take additional steps to enhance the under-
standing of the public with respect to such resource 
commitments, in a manner consistent with the protec-
tion of intelligence sources and methods and other na-
tional security interests; and 
(2) the United States Government should release 
to the public as much information as possible regard-
