Trade report reveals secret budget plans
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Defense Department intends to ask Congress to approve a $27 billion, six-year spending plan for the super-secret National Security Agency and two other intelligence groups, according to a trade publication report.
This week's edition of Defense Week said it had obtained internal Pentagon documents which spelled out the budget requests as approved by John Deutch, deputy defense secretary.
The figures are for the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Central Imagery Office. They do not include budgets for the other main intelligence agencies — the CIA and the National Reconnaissance Office.
Not only are these individual agencies' budgets classified secret, but the government's overall intelligence budget is secret, too. Defense Week, apparently the first to publish official figures for budgets of the NSA, DIA and the imagery agency, said it obtained the figures from an Aug. 16 memorandum signed by Deutch.
"It's an example of the futility of the secrecy" practiced by the government, said Jeff Richelson, an author of U.S. intelligence agency books.
Steve Aftergood, a Federation of American Scientists specialist in government secrecy, said he believed publication of the budget figures by Defense Week would lead to further erosion of the secrecy surrounding intelligence budgets.
Some members of Congress have tried in recent years to stop classifying the government's overall intelligence budget, but the Clinton administration and its predecessors have prevailed, arguing that it could give an advantage to potential adversaries.
Overall U.S. spending on intelligence is believed to be about $28 billion this year. Aftergood said that included about $3 billion for the CIA and about $6.5 billion for the National Reconnaissance Office, which develops and operates svs satellites.
Defense Week said the National Security Agency, which is responsible for intercepting and processing foreign communications as well as safeguarding U.S. voice transmissions, had a fiscal 1995 budget request of $3.47 billion.
The request for the Defense Intelligence Agency, which is responsible for the collection and processing of military intelligence, totals about $4 billion for the 1996-2001 period, Defense Week said. Its 1995 request was $621.9 million.
Kansas to gain from crime bill
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The crime bill passed by Congress could mean at least $236 million for Kansas during the next six years, including $110 million to hire 1,200 police officers, according to a Senate analysis.
Meanwhile, Republican Sen. Nancy Kassebaum's office was bombarded Friday with hundreds of telephone calls rater over her decision to vote for the bill and its assault weapon ban.
Kassebaum was one of six Republicans who voted with 55 Democrats to pass the bill Thursday night. GOP Leader Bob Dole against the bill.
Besides the 1,200 police officers, a Senate Judiciary Committee analysis indicates Kansas could get $68 million in prison grants. $11.1 million for other law enforcement, $10 million for drug courts and $2 million for judges, prosecutors and public defenders.
Kansas also stands to receive more than $34.7 million through the year 2000 for programs, such as midnight basketball, anti-gang efforts, innercity economic development and prison drug treatment.
