The FBI was one of the few agencies in this bill to receive funding above its requested level, and I've always been a strong proponent of providing the necessary resources for law enforcement personnel to protect the American people. As you noted, the bill includes a program increase of $6.6 million above the current level for agents and support personnel to combat financial fraud. The Senate has reported their CJS total a higher allocation. I think they were $781 million above us. As we go to conference with the Senate, the gentlelady can rest assured that we will work to ensure that the FBI has the resources that they need.
