(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

dent 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 funding requested for the National Intel-
ligence Program for such fiscal year; and 
(B) the amount of requested and appro-
priated funds for the National Intelligence Pro-

tain prior fiscal years, consistent with the pro-

and other national security interests; and 
(2) the United States Government should re-
lease to the public as much information as possible

ods and other national security interests.
