The annual consideration of appropriations bills (regular, continuing, and supplemental) by
Congress is part of a complex set of budget processes that also encompasses the
consideration of budget resolutions, revenue and debt-limit legislation, other spending
measures, and reconciliation bills. In addition, the operation of programs and the spending
of appropriated funds are subject to constraints established in authorizing statutes.
Congressional action on the budget for a fiscal year usually begins following the submission
of the President’s budget at the beginning of each annual session of Congress.
Congressional practices governing the consideration of appropriations and other budgetary
measures are rooted in the Constitution, the standing rules of the House and Senate, and
statutes, such as the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
This report is a guide to one of the 13 regular appropriations bills that Congress considers
each year. It is designed to supplement the information provided by the House and Senate
Appropriations Subcommittees on Homeland Security. It summarizes the status of the bill,
its scope, major issues, funding levels, and related congressional activity, and is updated as
events warrant. The reports lists the key CRS staff relevant to the issues covered and related
CRS products.

Note on Most Recent Data. The data in this report are based on the P.L.
108-334, the conference report to H.R. 4567 (H.Rept. 108-774); House report
(H.Rept. 108-541) to H.R. 4567; the House-passed version of H.R. 4567; the Senate-
passed version of H.R. 4567; and on Senate report (S.Rept. 108-280) to S. 2537.
302(a) and 302(b) Allocation Ceilings. The maximum budget authority
for annual DHS appropriations is determined through a two-stage congressional
budget process. In the first stage, the Congress agrees to overall spending totals in
the annual concurrent resolution on the budget. Subsequently, these amounts are
allocated among the various committees, usually through the statement of managers
for the conference report on the budget resolution. These amounts are known as the
302(a) allocations. They include the discretionary totals available to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations for enactment in annual appropriations
through the 13 subcommittees responsible for the development of the appropriation
bills specific to each.
In the second stage of the process, the appropriations committees allocate the
302(a) discretionary funds among their subcommittees for each of the 13 annual
appropriation bills. These amounts are known as the 302(b) allocations. These
allocations must add up to no more than the 302(a) discretionary allocation, and form
the basis for enforcing budget discipline, since any bill reported with total above the
ceiling is subject to a point of order. 302(b) allocations may be adjusted during the
year as the various appropriations bills progress toward final enactment. On May 19,
2004, the House agreed to the conference report on the FY2005 budget resolution
S.Con.Res. 95. The Senate did not pass the FY2005 budget resolution (S.Con.Res.
95). On June 15, 2004, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Young
submitted H.Rept. 108-543, which included subcommittee 302(b) allocations based
on the amounts agreed to in the conference report on S.Con.Res. 95. The 302(a)
allocation in the House version of S.Con.Res. 95 is $821 billion, and the
discretionary 302(b) allocation listed in H.Rept. 108-543 for Homeland Security is
$32 billion. On September 8, 2004, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved
its 302(b) allocations with a total budget authority for Homeland Security of $32

million. Table 2 shows the 302(b) discretionary allocations for DHS, thus far in the
process.

Highlights
This report describes the President’s proposal for FY2005 appropriations for
DHS programs, as submitted to the Congress on February 2, 2004, and the
congressional response to that proposal. It compares the FY2005 amounts proposed
in the President’s budget, the current estimates of the FY2004 amounts for programs
and activities that were transferred to DHS after its establishment on January 24,
2003. This report tracks legislative action and congressional issues related to the
FY2005 DHS appropriations bill, with particular attention paid to discretionary
programs. However, the report does not follow specific funding issues related to
mandatory DHS programs — such as retirement pay — nor does it systematically
follow any legislation related to the authorization or amendment of DHS programs.
FY2005 represents the second annual appropriations cycle for DHS. Of the 13
annual appropriations bills, the DHS bill is estimated to be the fifth largest source of
discretionary funds, accounting for approximately 3.5% of the estimated $818.4
billion total for all federal discretionary budget authority, as reported in the Budget
of the United States Government Fiscal Year 2005, Table S-5.²
Though not the focus of this paper, it is important to note that not all federal
spending on homeland security is funneled through DHS. According to a recent
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report,³ the Administration has requested $47.3
billion in FY2005 gross budget authority for federal homeland security activities. Of
this total, according to CBO, $40⁴ billion or 86% is allocated to DHS. However, it
is also important to note that DHS performs many missions that are not related to

² U.S. President (Bush), Budget of the U.S. Government: Fiscal Year 2005 (Washington:

2004), p. 369.

³ For information regarding federal funding for homeland security activities across the
federal government, see “Federal Funding for Homeland Security,” Economic and Budget
Issue Brief, CBO, Apr. 30, 2004, at [http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdoc.cfm?index=5414&type=1].
⁴ This total is different from the committee total because it is gross budget authority as
opposed to new budget authority.

homeland security.⁵ According to CBO, approximately $27.1 billion or 68% of the
total FY2005 requested gross budget authority for DHS is devoted to homeland
security missions. Therefore, the requested DHS homeland security budget authority
for FY2005 ($27.1 billion) represents approximately 57% of the total federal
resources ($47.3 billion) sought by the Administration for homeland security
activities in FY2005.⁶
Appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-296) transferred the functions,
relevant funding, and most of the personnel of 22 agencies and offices to the new
DHS created by the act. The act organized DHS into four major directorates: Border
and Transportation Security (BTS); Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR);
Science and Technology (S&T); and Information Analysis and Infrastructure
Protection (IAIP).
During congressional debate on the FY2004 appropriations cycle, the structure
of accounts and titles under the bill (H.R. 2555) was reorganized several times. The
House and Senate Appropriations Committees each organized the appropriations
slightly differently, and the Conference committee decided upon the final
organization, which was adopted in P.L. 108-90. The House and Senate tables
contained within H.Rept. 108-541 and S.Rept. 108-280 for FY2005 generally reflect
the organization adopted in P.L. 108-90, and is the organization used in this report.
Table 3 is a summary table comparing appropriations for FY2004 and the
requested amount for FY2005. As shown in Table 3, the Administration has
requested a total appropriation of $32.6 billion for DHS for FY2005. This total
represents a 7.7% increase in funding over the enacted FY2004 amount. The
discretionary funding amount is $31.5 billion, and represents a 7.7% increase over
the net enacted FY2004 level. Requested mandatory FY2005 funding represents a
6.4% increase over the enacted FY2004 level. On October 18, 2004, P.L. 108-334
was signed into law providing $33.1 billion in appropriations for DHS for FY2005.
P.L. 108-334 provides the following amounts for the four titles of the DHS
appropriation: (I) Departmental Management and Operations, $607 million; (II)
Security, Enforcement and Investigations, $20.6 billion; (III) Preparedness and
Recovery, $9.5 billion; and (IV) Research and Development, Training, Assessments,
and Services, $2.4 billion.
H.Rept. 108-541 (to H.R. 4567) recommends a total appropriation of $33.1
billion for DHS, representing an increase of $500 million compared to the
Administration’s request, and a 9.3% increase compared to the FY2004 enacted
level. S.Rept. 108-280 (to S. 2537) also provides $33.1 billion for DHS.

⁵ For a break down and comparison of homeland security and non-homeland security
funding within DHS, see Department of Homeland Security, Department of Homeland
Security FY2005 Budget in Brief, p. 65.
⁶ See also, Office of Management and Budget, 2003 Report to Congress on Combating
Terrorism (Washington: Sept. 2003), for a presentation of federal resources devoted to
combating terrorism.

The House passed H.R. 4567, June 18, 2004, providing a total of $33.1 billion
for DHS. Prior to passage, the House adopted five amendments, two of which
changed amounts to be appropriated. H.Amdt. 568 provided $50 million to the
Staffing of Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Firefighters (SAFER) program,
which was offset by a $50 million reduction for the Office of the Undersecretary for
Management in the Operations Account of Title I. H.Amdt. 569 increased funding
for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in Title II, by $450 thousand (less than
$0.5 million), which was offset by a reduction in amounts provided to the Office of
the Undersecretary for Management in Title I.
The Senate passed H.R. 4567 on September 14, 2004. Prior to debating the bill,
the Senate struck all of the House-passed provisions and inserted the language from
S. 2537. During the debate, the Senate adopted more than 40 amendments to the bill.
Of the adopted amendments, 8 increased or decreased amounts to be appropriated.
S.Amdt. 3616 added a total of $170 million to the Office of State and Local
Government Preparedness (OSLGCP) distributed as follows: $50 million for State
and Local Programs; $50 million for Firefighter Assistance Grants; and $20 million
for Emergency Management Planning Grants (EMPG). S.Amdt. 3578 adds $200
million for Air and Marine Interdiction, Operations, Maintenance and Procurement.
S.Amdt 3578 includes an offset in the form of an extension of Customs User fees
from March 1, 2005 to June 1, 2005.⁷
S.Amdt. 3618 adds a total of $414 million distributed as follows: $150 million
for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Salaries and Expenses; $100 million for
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Salaries and Expenses (of which $50
million is for investigative personnel, and $50 million is for Detention and Removal
bedspace and operations); $128 million to the OSLCGP for State and Local Programs
for rail and transit security; and $36 million to the OSLGCP for EMPG. S.Amdt.
3618 also includes an offset in the form of an extension of Customs User fees from
June 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005. S.Amdt. 3611 applies an overtime cap to
certain CBP employees and reduces the CBP Salaries and Expenses account by $1
million. S.Amdt. 3598 provides an additional $75 million for baggage screening
activities. S.Amdt. 3630 provides an additional $100 million for Federal Fire
Prevention and Control Act with decreases in amounts from the following sources:
$70 million from Title I in the Office of the Under Secretary for Management; $20
million from Title IV in Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection’s (IAIP)
Management and Administration Account; and $10 million from Science and
Technology’s (S&T) Management and Administration Account.
The Senate also adopted amendments to provide additional assistance pertaining
to the recent round of hurricanes including Bonnie, Charley, and Frances.⁸ S.Amdt.
3607 provided an additional $70 million to the Red Cross for response to hurricanes
Bonnie, Charley, and Frances. S.Amdt. 3636 would provide an estimated $3 billion
in emergency supplemental farm disaster assistance in response to various natural
disasters.

Title I: Departmental Management and Operations
Title I covers the general administrative expenses of DHS, including the Office
of the Secretary and Executive Management Offices; the Under Secretary for
Management; the Counterterrorism Fund; the Department-wide Technology
Investments Account; and the Office of the Inspector General.⁹ Table 4 shows
appropriations for FY2004, and congressional action on the request for FY2005. The
total FY2005 request for Title I is $713 million. This represents a 57.4% increase
over the FY2004 enacted level. H.Rept. 108-541 recommends $634 million for Title
I, representing a $79 million decrease compared to the Administration’s request, and
a 40% increase compared to the FY2004 enacted level. However, during the floor
debate on H.R. 4567, H.Amdt. 568 and H.Amdt. 569 were adopted reducing the total
amounts available in Title I, by $50.4 million to $584 million. S.Rept. 108-280
provides a total of $632 million for Title I. During the floor debate for H.R. 4567,
the Senate adopted S.Amdt. 3630, which decreased Title I by $70 million to $562
million. The conferees provide a total of $607 million for Title I.

Security - Administering the Department, at [http://www.congress.gov/erp/legissues/
html/isdhs2.html ].

Operations. Included in the Operations account is the Office of the Secretary
and the Executive Management Offices, which perform several functions including
public affairs, congressional affairs, privacy, security, general counsel, and civil
rights and liberties. The Office of the Immigration Ombudsman is also housed in the
Executive Management Offices. The Undersecretary for Management is responsible
for several functions including, for example, monitoring and managing
appropriations, accounting and finance, procurement, human resources and
personnel, and the tracking of performance measurements relating to the department.
The FY2005 request for Operations of $405 million represents a 92% increase in
funding over the enacted FY2004 level of $211 million. The conferees provide $524
million for Operations, but this amount includes funding previously appropriated
under Department-wide Technology Investments. H.Rept. 108-541 provides $341
million for the Operations Account, representing a decrease of $64 million from the
Administration’s FY2005 request; and a 62% increase in funding over the enacted
FY2004 level. However, during the floor debate on H.R. 4567, H.Amdt. 568 and
H.Amdt. 569 were adopted reducing the total amounts available in the Office of the
Undersecretary for Management, by $50.4 million, leaving a total of $291 million
provided by H.R. 4567 for the Operations account. S.Rept. 108-280 provides $328
for the Operations Account, representing a $13 million decrease compared to H.Rept.
108-541, and a 55% increase compared to the enacted FY2004 level. The $13
million difference between the House and Senate bills is spread across many sub-
accounts and activities. Significant comparisons between the Administration’s
request; H.Rept. 108-541; and S.Rept. 108-280 for Operations include the following:
^!$103 million requested by the administration for the new human
resources personnel system, including additional resources for
training supervisory personnel, and creating the information
technology framework for the performance-based personnel system
(the conferees in P.L. 108-334, provide $36 million for this activity)
(H.Rept. 108-541 provides $70 million under this account, and $21
million under the Department-Wide Technology Investment account,
while S.Rept. 108-280 provides $70 million under this account);
^!$45 million requested by the Administration for the continued
expansion of DHS headquarters, of which $19 million would be
available for ‘tenant improvement’ and move costs, and $26 million
is for the relocation of U.S. Navy operations from the Nebraska
Avenue Complex to leased facilities (fully funded by P.L. 108-334,
H.Rept. 108-541, and S Rept. 108-280); and
^!$17 million for headquarters staffing adjustments, of which $3.5
million is to implement a new regional field structure (half-year
funding, or $1.7 million provided by H.Rept. 108-541, but not
funded by P.L. 108-334 or S.Rept. 108-280), $4.6 million for the
Immigration Ombudsman (not funded by H.Rept. 108-541, but
funded at $3.5 million by P.L. 108-334 and S.Rept. 108-280), and
$5.9 million to align the Office of Immigration Statistics under the
Office of the Under Secretary for Management (fully funded by P.L.

108-334, H.Rept. 108-541 and S.Rept. 108-280).

In addition, H.Rept. 108-541 zeroed out (-$6 million) funding for the DHS
Office of Legislative Affairs, while this office is fully funded by S.Rept. 108-280;
P.L. 108-334 funds this office at $5.4 million.
Department-wide Technology Investments. The FY2005 Department-
wide Technology Investment (DTI) request of $226 million represents a 23%
increase over the FY2004 enacted level of $184 million. H.Rept. 108-541 provides
$211 million for this account, representing a decrease of $15 million as compared to
the Administration’s request, and an increase of 15% compared to the FY2004
enacted level. S.Rept. 108-280 provides $222 million for this account, representing
an $11 increase compared to H.Rept. 108-541, and a 21% increase compared to the
FY2004 enacted level. P.L. 108-334 provides $275 million in funding for the Office
of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) which includes funding previously
appropriated under the Department-wide Technology Investments account. This
amount includes: $208 million for Department-wide Technology Investments, and
$67 million for salaries and expenses.
Significant comparisons between the Administration’s request, H.Rept. 108-541, and
S.Rept. 108-280 for Department-wide Technology Investment:
^!$21 million for the design, development and implementation of a
new human resources information system integrating and
consolidating the existing legacy systems and implementing e-
Government solutions (fully funded by P.L. 108-334, H.Rept. 108-
541 and S.Rept. 108-280); and
^!$17 million for the ‘eMERGE’¹⁰ financial management system that
will consolidate the existing legacy financial management systems
into one uniform solution for the Department (funded at $10 million
by P.L. 108-334; funded at $13 million, by H.Rept. 108-541 and
S.Rept. 108-280, due to the identification of $4 million in savings
for this program).
The difference between the H.R. 4567 and S. 2537 can be accounted for by the
H.Rept. 108-541 transfer of $11 million for SAFECOM (secure interoperable
communications) from this account to the Directorate of Science and Technology.
S.Rept. 108-280 does not transfer these funds to S&T, providing $11 million under
DTI. S.Rept. 108-280 also provides an additional $11 million for SAFECOM under
the S&T Directorate, for a total of $22 million for SAFECOM. The conferees, in
P.L. 108-334, provide $11 million for SAFECOM under the S&T directorate.
Title II: Security, Enforcement, and Investigations
Title II funds Security, Enforcement, and Investigations. The largest component¹¹
of Title II is the Directorate of Border and Transportation Security (BTS). BTS is

¹⁰ Electronically Managing Enterprise Resources for Government Efficiency and
Effectiveness (eMERGE).
¹¹ For more information on border and transportation security appropriations, see CRS
(continued...)

comprised of the inspection, investigative, and enforcement operations of the former
U.S. Customs Service (Customs), the former Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS), portions of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) (whose
functions have been split between the Customs and Border Protection and the
Immigration and Customs Enforcement); and the TSA. The Coast Guard and the
Secret Service are also funded under Title II, though they are not a part of BTS.
Table 5 shows funding for Title II. The table compares the funding of Title II
activities for FY2004 with the amounts requested for FY2005. The Administration
has requested a total Title II appropriation of $20.4 billion for FY2005. The BTS
Directorate accounts for 62.6% of the entire DHS budget. The FY2005 total request
represents an increase of $1.4 billion or 7.3% over the FY2004 enacted level.
H.Rept. 108-541 recommends $20.6 billion for Title II, representing a $153 million
increase compared to the request, and a 8% increase compared to the FY2004 enacted
level. S.Rept. 108-280 provides $20.7 billion for Title II, representing a $153 million
increase compared to the amounts provided in H.Rept. 108-541, and a 9% increase
compared to the FY2004 enacted level. During floor debate, the Senate added
several amendments to HR4567 that increased overall Title II appropriations to $21.3
billion. This represents an increase of $881 million over the FY2005 request and
12% over the FY2004 enacted level. P.L. 108-334 provides $20.6 billion in
appropriations for Title II.

Office of the Undersecretary for Border and Transportation
Security. The Administration’s request for this office includes an increase of nearly
$2 million for additional staff in the Office of the Undersecretary for BTS. H.Rept.
108-541 fully funds this request, while S.Rept. 108-280 does not include increased
funding for staffing adjustments. P.L. 108-334 provides $9.6 million for the Under
Secretary for Border and Transportation Security.
US-VISIT. The Administration has requested an increase of $12 million for the
US-VISIT program to continue the implementation of existing capabilities, and to
deploy additional entry and exit control capabilities at land ports of entry. The total
funding request for US-VISIT is $340 million, representing a 3.7% increase over the
FY2004 enacted level of $328 million.¹² P.L. 108-344, H.Rept. 108-541, and S.Rept.
108-280, fully fund the Administration’s request for US-VISIT. The conferees also
continue to require detailed expenditure plans for US-VISIT.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP). CBP has responsibility for
security at and between ports-of-entry along the border. These responsibilities
include inspecting people and goods to determine that they are authorized for entry
and maintaining border crossing stations to process persons seeking entry to the U.S.
The inspection and border-related functions of the Customs Service, the border
security functions of the former INS (including the Border Patrol), and the inspection
functions of the Agricultural Quarantine Inspection (AQI) program are consolidated
under CBP.
P.L. 108-344 provides a net appropriation of $5,270 million for CBP. This
includes $50 million for radiation detection technology, and upto an additional $30
million for radiation detection technology or non-intrusive inspection equipment; $1
million for an in-bond cargo security pilot project; $2 million for the Immigration
Security Initiative; and $5 million for CBP’s advanced training center. This amount
also includes the nearly $390 million for the Office of Air and Marine Interdiction
(AMO), which was transferred by DHS to CBP from ICE. The funding for AMO is
divided between two appropriations lines with $130 million appropriated in CBP’s
Salaries and Expenses account, and $258 million appropriated as a separate
appropriation line for Air and Marine Operations, Personnel Compensation and

¹² For more information, see CRS Report RL32234, U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status
Indicator Technology, by Lisa M. Seghetti and Steven R. Viña.

Benefits. The CBP appropriation also includes a rescission of $63 million from
previously appropriated FY2004 funds.
The net FY2005 request for CBP was $5,122 million, representing a 4.4%
increase over the enacted FY2004 level of $4,899 million. H.Rept. 108-541
recommended $5,154 million for CBP, representing a $32 million increase compared
to the Administration’s request; and a 5% increase over the enacted FY2004 level.¹³
S.Rept. 108-280 recommended $5,009 million for CBP, $145 million less than
provided by H.Rept. 108-541, $113 million less than requested, and 2% more than
the enacted FY2004 level.
P.L. 108-344, H.Rept. 108-541, and S.Rept. 108-280 fully fund the following
FY2005 requested increases:
^!$25 million to expand the Container Security Initiative (CSI), a
cargo security program that stations CBP officers in foreign ports to
target and pre-screen cargo containers before they are loaded on U.S.
bound ships;
^!$15 million to expand Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism
(C-TPAT) a supply chain security program that engages
participating private sector actors in securing their own supply
chains;
^!$50 million for radiation detection and non-intrusive inspection
technology used in inspecting conveyances and cargo entering the
country at ports of entry;
^!$21 million for enhancements to several modules of CBP’s
Automated Targeting System (ATS), used to identify high-risk
people and cargo worthy of a more intense inspection;
^!$64 million to expand the remote video system deployed between
ports of entry along the northern and southern borders; and
^!$10 million to purchase Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to support the
Border Patrol and other CBP components (P.L. 108-344 funds this
request under CBP to reflect the Department’s transfer of AMO
from ICE to CBP) (S.Rept. 108-280 funded this increase under the
Office of Air and Marine Operations in ICE).
P.L. 108-334 provides an additional $30 million above the request for radiation
detection equipment, (H.Rept. 108-541, and the Senate-passed H.R. 4567 had
recommended an additional $50 million above the request for radiation detection
equipment), an additional $2 million for the Immigration Security Initiative (H.Rept
108-541 had recommended an additional $3 million), and an additional $1 million
to monitor ‘in-bond’¹⁴ cargo containers (recommended by H.Rept. 108-541). The

¹³ Prior to the passage of H.R. 4567, the House adopted H.Amdt. 569, which increased
funding to CBP by $450,000, but since this amount is less than $0.5 million, it is not
reflected in the reported totals due to rounding.
¹⁴ The term ‘in-bond’ is used to describe cargo shipments that are either destined for deposit
in a bonded warehouse, or that are transiting the U.S. en route to another country, and which
(continued...)

Conference also transfer $23 million in training funds to reflect the transfer of the
Charleston Training Center to FLETC (recommended by both the House and Senate).
During floor debate, the Senate added two amendments to H.R. 4567 that
resulted in a $149 million increase to CBP appropriations. S.Amdt. 3618 added $50
million for radiation detection devices, $50 million for additional CBP inspectors,
and $50 million for additional Border Patrol agents. S.Amdt. 3611 places a $30,000
aggregate overtime limitation on CBP employee remuneration and reduces overall
CBP Salaries and Expenses by $1 million.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).¹⁵ ICE focuses on
enforcement of immigration and customs laws within the United States, as well as
investigations into such activities as fraud, forced labor, trade agreement
noncompliance, smuggling and illegal transshipment of people and goods, and
vehicle and cargo theft. In addition, this bureau oversees the building security
activities of the Federal Protective Service (FPS), formerly of the General Services
Administration; and the aviation security activities of the Federal Air Marshals
(FAMS), formerly of the TSA. ICE combined the investigations and intelligence
functions of the U.S. Customs Service and the former INS, the air and marine
interdiction functions of those agencies, and the immigration detention and removal
programs (including the operations of the FPS).
P.L. 108-334 provides $3,167 million for ICE, however, this amount does not
include amounts provided for AMO which, as noted earlier, has been transferred to
CBP. The FY2005 request for ICE of $3,307 million represents an 11% increase
from the enacted FY2004 level. Though Table 5 indicates that the FY2005 request
for ICE consitutes a 2.9% decrease from the enacted FY2004 level, this is due to a
change in accounting for the fee receipts used to offset the expenses of the FPS. If
the offsets are applied to the enacted FY2004 level in the same manner in which the
FY2005 offsets are applied (zeroing out FPS funding in FY2004), ICE actually
receives an increase of nearly 11% from the FY2004 enacted level. Using this same
accounting, H.Rept. 108-541 recommended $3,364 million for ICE, representing a
$57 million increase over the Administration’s request and a $381 million or 13%
increase from the enacted FY2004 level. S.Rept. 108-280 recommended $3,410
million for ICE, $46 million more than provided by H.Rept. 108-541, $103 million
more than requested, and a 14% increase compared to the FY2004 enacted level.
ICE has six budget accounts into which its funding is appropriated: Salaries and
Expenses; FPS; FAMS; Automation Modernization; Air and Marine Operations
(AMO); and Construction. The bulk of ICE’s funding is provided through the
Salaries and Expenses account, which is separated into three activities:

¹⁴ (...continued)
are provisionally entered into the U.S. under a customs bond. Duties and tariffs are not due
on in-bond shipments until the time the merchandise leaves the bonded warehouse and
enters the commerce of the U.S. Brokers or importers take out customs bonds to cover the
potential duties and taxes on the shipments while the shipment is warehoused.

Investigations; Detention and Removal; and AMO (which has now been transferred
to CBP).
The Investigations program focuses its resources on the investigation of
numerous national security, financial and smuggling violations including contraband
smuggling; human trafficking; money laundering; commercial fraud; identity and
benefit fraud; and the illegal trafficking of weapons and critical technology. The
Administration requested $78 million (355 FTE) over base resources for the
following Investigations program initiatives:
^!$16 million (65 FTE) for compliance teams to analyze data
generated from the Student Exchange and Visitor Information
System (SEVIS) and US-VISIT (fully funded by P.L. 108-334, and
the House and Senate reports);
^!$14 million (90 FTE) for International Affairs of which $10 million
is to support the new Visa Security Unit, and the remaining $4
million is requested to replace funding previously provided through
the Examination Fee Account (fully funded by P.L. 108-334, and the
House and Senate reports);
^!$25 million to support benefit fraud operations, requested to replace
funding previously provided by the Examination Fee Account (fully
funded by P.L. 108-334, but not funded by the Senate); and
^!$23 million for worksite enforcement (funded at $5 million by P.L.
108-334, funded by the House at $15.6 million, and not funded by
the Senate report).
The Detention and Removal program is responsible for ensuring that all
removable aliens depart the U.S. The Administration requested, and P.L. 108-334
fully funds, $108.2 million (342 FTE) over base resources for the following
Detention and Removal program initiatives:
^!$30 million (140 FTE) to expand the Institutional Removal Program
nationally to all Federal, State, and local institutions housing
criminal aliens;
^!$50 million (118 FTE) to continue implementation of the National
Fugitive Operations Program (NFOP) which seeks to reduce the
fugitive alien population over the next six years;
^!$11 million (30 FTE) to establish alternatives to detention that
include additional non-traditional family and female-friendly
detention settings and establish community supervision operations
(the House report provides an additional $5 million above the
request, which was not funded by P.L. 108-334);
^!$6 million (40 FTE) for the Legal Program to eliminate the backlog
of matters pending in the Immigration Court;
^!$6.2 million to fund DHS’s efforts to interdict illegal alien migrants
in the Caribbean region; and
^!$5 million (14FTE) for additional detention bed space (P.L. 108-334
provides an additional $16.5 million above the House and Senate
recommendations for a total of $20.5 million above the request)(the

House and Senate reports both recommended an additional $5
million above the request).
AMO utilizes an integrated and coordinated air and marine force to identify,
deter, interdict, and investigate acts of terrorism and the unlawful smuggling of
people or goods across U.S. borders. The Administration requested, and P.L. 108-
334 fully funds, $40.5 million for the following AMO program initiatives that have
been transferred to CBP:
^!$28 million to increase the number of P-3 (a radar equipped aircraft)
flight hours which will be allocated to the Caribbean to support
counter narcotics programs in source countries (Columbia Airbridge
Denial Program); and
^!$12.5 million for long range radar to support drug interdiction
efforts along the southern border.
P.L. 108-334 also provides AMO with an additional $3 million for AMO’s
National Capital Region Coordination Center (NCRCC) and National Capital Region
air branch. H.Rept. 108-541 provided an additional $5 million in ICE’s Salaries and
Expenses Account, for AMO’s NCRCC and National Capital Region air branch
operations; this additional amount was not provided by S.Rept. 108-280.
The Administration did not request additional funding for new initiatives for the
FAMS, FPS, Automation Modernization, or Construction accounts. However, P.L.
108-334 provides, and H.Rept. 108-541 and S.Rept. 108-280 each recommended a
total increase of $60 million for Federal Air Marshals: $50 million in the FAMS
account for FAMS operations; and $10 million under the Directorate of Science and
Technology for the FAMS air-to-ground communications system.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA). P.L. 108-334 provides
a net appropriation of $3,260 million for TSA. The Administration’s net FY2005
request for TSA of $2,752 million represents a 9.7% increase over the enacted
FY2004 level of $2,508 million. According to TSA, this increase does not include
funding to expand current programs, nor does it fund any new program initiatives.¹⁶
Instead, this increase is comprised primarily of annualizations of prior year funding
and pay inflation.
H.Rept. 108-541 recommended a net appropriation of $3,225 million for TSA.
While this appears to be a $473 million increase over the FY2005 request, and a 29%
increase over the enacted FY2004 level, H.Rept. 108-541 in fact recommends
increases totaling $73 million. According to S.Rept. 108-280, the Administration
budget request included a $400 million increase in aviation security fees. However,
neither House nor Senate reports funded this request, instead they recommended the
$400 million in appropriated funds. Table 5 reflects the amounts contained in P.L.
108-334, H.Rept. 108-541 and S.Rept. 108-280. S.Rept. 108-280 recommended a
total appropriation of $3,337 for TSA for FY2005. However, during floor debate for

¹⁶ Department of Homeland Security, “Transportation Security Administration,” Department
of Homeland Security FY2005 Congressional Budget Justification, p. TSA-15.

H.R. 4567, the Senate adopted amendment 3598 which added $75 million to TSA for
baggage screening activities.
Within the Aviation Security Account, P.L. 108-334 provides $22 million over
the request for Passenger Screening, while the House recommended $10 million less
than requested and the Senate report recommended $50 million more than requested.
For Baggage Screening, P.L. 108-334 provides $75 million above the request; while
the House recommended $29 million above the Administration’s request and the
Senate in S.Rept. 108-280 recommended $60 million above the request for the
purchase and installation of EDS/ETD equipment. For Airport Security Direction
and Enforcement, P.L. 108-334 provides $12 million less than requested, while the
House recommended an additional $3 million above the request for aviation
regulation and other enforcement, and an additional $10.4 million above the request
for air cargo security; and the Senate recommended $38 million above the
administration’s request, of which $25 million is for airport information technology
and support, and $13 million is for air cargo security activities.
United States Coast Guard.¹⁷ The Coast Guard is the lead federal agency
for the maritime component of homeland security. As such, it is the lead agency
responsible for border and transportation security as it applies to U.S. ports, coastal
and inland waterways, and territorial waters. The Coast Guard also performs other
missions, including some (such as fisheries enforcement) not related to homeland
security.
P.L. 108-334 provides $7,373 million for the Coast Guard for FY2005. This
amount includes a rescission of $16 million of funding previously appropriated in
FY2004 for Rescue 21 because of contract delays and high unobligated balances for
that program. The total FY2005 request for the Coast Guard of $7,335 million
represents an 8.5% increase over the enacted FY2004 level of $6,764 million.
H.Rept. 108-541 provides $7,307 million for the Coast Guard, representing a
decrease of $29 million compared to the Administration’s request, and an increase
of $542 million or 8% compared to the FY2004 enacted level. H.Rept. 108-541
includes a rescission of $33 million of unexpended funds appropriated in FY2003
and FY2004 for Maritime Patrol Aircraft under the Deepwater Program. S.Rept.
108-280 provides $7,469 million for the Coast Guard (this amount does not include
the $33 million rescission contained in H.R. 4567). There is a difference of $162
million ($129 million after accounting for the rescission in H.R. 4567) between the
amounts provided the Coast Guard in the House-passed H.R. 4567, and S.Rept. 108-

280.

The Administration has requested increased funding for several FY2005 Coast
Guard initiatives. The requested amounts and the funding levels provided by P.L.

108-334, H.Rept. 108-541, and S.Rept. 108-280 include the following:

¹⁷ For more information on the Coast Guard and its homeland security missions, see CRS
Report RS21125, Homeland Security: Coast Guard Operations: Background and Issues for
Congress, by Ronald O’Rourke.

^!$102 million to facilitate the development, review, and approval of
port and maritime security plans required by the Maritime
Transportation Security Act (MTSA) (P.L. 108-334, H.Rept. 108-

541 and S.Rept. 108-280 fully fund this request);

^!$27 million for the Rescue 21 Project, which is recapitalizing the
Coast Guard’s coastal zone communications network (not funded by
P.L. 108-334 or H.Rept. 108-541, but fully funded by S.Rept. 108-

280);

^!$10 million for the Integrated Deepwater Program (fully funded by
P.L. 108-334, H.Rept. 108-541 and S.Rept. 108-280);¹⁸
^!$10 million for a pay and performance demonstration project (not
funded by P.L. 108-334, H.Rept. 108-541, but fully funded by
S.Rept. 108-280);
^!$6 million for the Great Lakes Icebreaker Project (fully funded by
P.L. 108-334, H.Rept. 108-541 and S.Rept. 108-280); and
^!$2 million to arm existing helicopter assets at Air Station Cape Cod,
as prototypes for arming all Coast Guard helicopters (fully funded
by P.L. 108-334, H.Rept. 108-541, and S.Rept. 108-280).
Additionally, with regard to research and development, H.Rept. 108-541
transferred $13.5 million to the S&T Directorate (as requested), while S.Rept. 108-
280 recommended $18.5 million for research and development under the Coast
Guard (deferring the transfer pending the completion of a study). P.L. 108-334
provides $18.5 million for research and development funding in the Coast Guard
account.
United States Secret Service. P.L. 108-334 provides $1,175 million for
the Secret Service. This amount includes a rescission of $700,000 of previously
appropriated FY2004 funds. This amount also includes “not less than $5 million
above the request for National Security Special Events (NSSE),” (the conferees also
stated that the foreseeable costs of the NSSEs should be funded from within the
Secret Service’s base budget); $2.1 million for forensic support to the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC); and an additional $3 million
above the request for the training and support of new special agents assigned to the
Electronic Crimes Task Force (ECTF).
The FY2005 request was $1,163 million, and represented a 2.5% increase over
the enacted FY2004 level. The Administration did not request additional funding for
Secret Service initiatives for FY2005. H.Rept. 108-541 recommended a total of
$1,184 million for the Secret Service, representing an increase of $20 million over
the Administration’s request. This recommended increase included $10 million to
support Secret Service operations concerning NSSEs; $5 million for Electronic
Crimes Task Forces (ECTF); and $5 million in transfers for grant assistance for the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). S.Rept. 108-280
recommended $1,163 million, $11 million less than amounts recommended by
H.Rept. 108-541. The amounts recommended by S.Rept. 108-280 did not include

¹⁸ For more information, see CRS Report RS21019, Coast Guard Deepwater Program:
Background and Issues for Congress, by Ronald O’Rourke.

the requested additional $10 million for NSSE, which the committee stated should
be funded from within the base budget. S.Rept. 108-280 also did not fund the
requested increase for the ECTF, but did include the $5 million for the NCMEC.
Title III: Preparedness and Recovery
The DHS Emergency Preparedness and Recovery (EPR)¹⁹ functions are intended
to improve the nation’s capability to reduce losses from all disasters, including
terrorist attacks. EPR promotes the effectiveness of emergency responders; supports
the Nuclear Incident Response Teams through standards, training exercises, and
provision of funds to named federal agencies; coordinates the federal response after
catastrophic disasters by managing, directing, overseeing, and coordinating specified
federal resources; aids recovery efforts; contributes to the development of national
preparedness and planning efforts; consolidates existing federal response plans into
a single plan; and develops programs for interoperative communications for
emergency responders. EPR also incorporates all activities formerly administered
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Table 6 includes funds expended during FY2004 for these functions, and
compares them to amounts requested and appropriated for FY2005. P.L. 108-334
provides a total of $9,491 for FY2005 for activities funded under Title III. The
Administration requested a total of $9.2 billion for FY2005 activities funded under
Title III, representing a 31.5% decline compared with the enacted FY2004 level. One
explanation for that decrease is that, the enacted FY2004 amount included an
advance appropriation²⁰ of $4.7 billion for Project BioShield²¹ but limited the current
year (FY2004) obligation of these funds to $884 million. The FY2005 request
contained an obligation limitation of $2.5 billion for Project BioShield, which was
adopted by the conference and approved in P.L. 108-334. H.Rept. 108-541
recommended $9,500 million for Title III; while the Senate-passed version of H.R.
4567 recommended $9,792. H.Rept. 108-541 and S.Rept. 108-280 transfer and
merge the ODP with the Office of State and Local Government Coordination into a
new organization called the Office for State and Local Government Coordination and
Preparedness (OSLGCP); P.L. 108-334 also reflects this new organization. During
floor debate, the Senate added two amendments, which increased appropriations for
OSLGCP by $284 million in the Senate-passed version of H.R. 4567, for a Title III
total of $9,792 million.

become available for spending or obligation until a subsequent fiscal year. The amount of
the appropriation is counted in the fiscal year in which it becomes available for obligation.

BioShield, by Frank Gottron.

Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR). P.L. 108-334 provides
$5,499 for EPR. This amount includes a rescission of $5 million in funds previsouly²²
appropriated by P.L. 108-11. The Administration requested increased funding for
the following FY2005 EPR initiatives, which are fully funded by P.L. 108-334,
H.Rept. 108-541, and S.Rept. 108-280:
^!$8 million in new budget authority for four Incident Management
Teams; and
^!$7 million for the development and implementation of the National
Incident Management System (NIMS).
P.L. 108-334 provides $240 million for preparedness, mitigation, response and
recovery, of which
^!$30 million is provided for Urban Search and Rescue Teams;
^!$2 million is provided in support of EPR’s Emergency Housing
plan; and
^!$15 million is provided for the NIMS.
P.L. 108-334 also includes
^!$203 million for Administrative and Regional Operations;
^!$34 million for Public Health Programs;
^!$2,042 million for Disaster Relief (does not include $70 million for
the American Red Cross as recommended by the Senate which are
addressed in the FY2004 emergency supplemental)²³; and
^!$153 million for Emergency Food and Shelter.
Both the House and Senate reports propose a $447 million decrease for Public
Health Programs, funding only one of the three components at the FY2004 enacted
level, and transferring budget authority for the other two. The National Disaster
Medical System receives level funding of $34 million in both reports; P.L. 108-334
also provides $34 million. Both the House and Senate reports stated concurrence
with the Administration proposal to return budget authority for the Strategic National
Stockpile (funded at $400 million in FY2004) to the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS). Funding for the stockpile had been transferred from HHS
to DHS by the Homeland Security Act, P.L. 107-296. The Metropolitan Medical
Response System (MMRS) grants, slated for elimination in the FY2005 budget
request, are transferred to the OSLGCP, though only the House provides funding for
the program, maintaining the FY2004 level of $50 million. P.L. 108-334 provides
$30 for MMRS grants under OSLGCP.

Supplemental Appropriations, by Keith Bea and Ralph M. Chite.

Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP) or Office of State and Local
Government Coordination and Preparedness (OSLGCP).²⁴ ODP has
primary responsibility for preparing first responders and public safety officials for
terror-related or weapons of mass destruction event, and for administering grants to
state, local, tribal, and regional jurisdictions. On January 26, 2004, the Secretary of
DHS sent a reorganization proposal to Congress consolidating grants formerly in the
TSA (port security grants), and in FEMA (Emergency Performance Grants) under
ODP. This is a part of the Administration’s effort to position ODP as the ‘one-stop
shop’ for preparedness assistance. As mentioned above, the FY2005 $3.6 billion
request for ODP would have been a net decrease of 11.3% from the enacted FY2004
level. H.Rept. 108-541 recommended a total of $4,065 million for the OSLGCP, an
increase of $504 million over the request. In addition, prior to passage, the House
adopted H.Amdt. 568, which transferred $50 million from Title I, to the Firefighter
Assistance account for the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response²⁵
Firefighters (SAFER) program. This brought the total recommended by the House-
passed version of H.R. 4567 for the OSLGCP to $4,115 million. S.Rept. 108-280
recommended a total of $3,750 million for OSLGCP, or $365 million less than
provided by H.Rept. 108-541, and $189 million more than requested. However, as
mentioned above, during floor debate the Senate added two amendments, which
increased appropriations for OSLGCP by $284 million in the Senate-passed version
of H.R. 4567. The Senate-passed version of H.R. 4567 recommended a total of
$4,134 million for OSLGCP. P.L. 108-334 provides $3,985 million.
As shown in Table 6, P.L. 108-334 provides $3.5 million for OSLGCP Salaries
and Expenses compared to the $25 million recommended by the Senate, and the $41
million recommended by the House. The conferees agreed to provide $4 million,
and note that management and administrative expenses are provided as a percentage
of the formula-based grants.
P.L. 108-334 provides $3,086 for State and Local Programs. The main
categories of grants provided under this account include: Formula-based Grants;
Discretionary Grants; and National Programs.
P.L. 108-334 provides $1,500 million for Formula-based grants, including
^!$1,100 million for the formula-based grants themselves; and
^!$400 million for Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Grants.
P.L. 108-334 provides $1,200 million for Discretionary Grants, including
^!$885 million for High-Threat, High-Density Urban Area Grants;
^!$150 million for Rail and Transit Security Grants;
^!$150 million for Port Security Grants;

Title IV: Research and Development, Training, Assessments,
and Services
Activities funded by Title IV include the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration
Services (CIS); Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection (IAIP); Federal
Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC); and the Science and Technology
Directorate (S&T).
Table 7 shows amounts provided for these functions in FY2004 together with
the amounts requested and appropriated for FY2005. P.L. 108-334 provides $2,392
million for the activities of Title IV, including: $160 million in net appropriations for
CIS; $894 million for IAIP; $222 million for FLETC; and $1,115 million for S&T.
The Administration requested a total of $2.24 billion dollars for Title IV for FY2005.
This represented a 3% increase over the FY2004 enacted level of $2.17 billion.
H.Rept. 108-541 recommended a total of $2,368 million for Title IV, representing
an increase of $128 million compared to the request, and a 9% increase compared to
the enacted FY2004 level. S.Rept. 108-280 recommended $2,309 million for Title
IV, $59 million less than provided by H.Rept. 108-541, and $69 million more than
requested by the Administration. During floor debate on H.R. 4567, the Senate
adopted an amendment that reduced Title IV funding by $30 million. This lowered
overall Title IV Senate recommendation to $2,279 million.

Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS). When the former INS was
disbanded and split, the inspection and enforcement functions were placed in CBP
and ICE respectively, and the immigration service functions were placed in a new
agency named Citizenship and Immigration Service. CIS is responsible for providing
immigration information and benefits to eligible individuals. The Administration
requested an additional $60 million to support efforts to reduce the backlog in
processing immigration benefit applications. H.Rept. 108-541 recommended a net
appropriation of $160 million for CIS. This fully funded the Administration’s
request and provides an additional $20 million to convert old immigration records
into electronic form (adopted by the conference, and included in P.L. 108-334).
S.Rept. 108-280 provides $140 million for CIS, and does not included the additional
$20 million for record conversion contained in H.Rept. 108-541.
Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection (IAIP). IAIP’s
primary responsibilities include integrating comprehensive terrorist threat
information and mapping that information against critical infrastructure
vulnerabilities; issuing warnings and advisories; and recommending preventative and
protective actions against threats. The IAIP FY2005 request of $865 million
represented a 3.7% increase from the enacted FY2004 funding level of $834 million.
P.L. 108-334 provides $894 million for IAIP. H.Rept. 108-541 recommended a total
of $855 million for IAIP, representing a $10 million decrease compared to the

Administration’s request, and a 2.5% increase over the enacted FY2004 level.
S.Rept. 108-280 recommended $876 million for IAIP, $21 million more than
provided in H.Rept. 108-541, and $11 million more than requested. The
Administration requested, and P.L. 108-334, H.Rept. 108-541, and S.Rept. 108-280
fully fund the following FY2005 IAIP initiatives:
^!$11 million for the Bio-Surveillance Initiative²⁶ which will allow
IAIP to integrate data from various agencies to enhance IAIP’s
situational awareness of the health of the population, animals, plants,
food supply, and environment;
^!$10 million for renovations and upgrades to the current Homeland
Security Operations Center; and
^!$2 million for cyber exercises to test the critical infrastructures of the
nation to potential cyber attacks.
P.L. 108-334 also provides $762 million for Assessments and evaluations, including
^!$107 million for Critical Infrastructure outreach and partnerships;
^!$78 million for Critical Infrastructure identification and evaluation;
^!$20 million for the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis
Center (NISAC);
^!$192 million for Protective Actions;
^!$11 million for Biosurveillance;
^!$67 million for Cyber Security;
^!$140 million for National Security Emergency Preparedness
Telecommunications;
^!$4 million for Competitive Analysis and Evaluation;
^!$22 million for Threat Determination and Assessment;
^!$71 million for Infrastructure Vulnerability and Risk Assessment;
^!$14 million for Evaluation and Studies; and
^!$35 million for the Homeland Security Operations Center.
Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC). FLETC offers law
enforcement training programs to federal, state, and local law enforcement entities.
P.L. 108-334 provides $222 million for FLETC. The FY2005 request for FLETC
of $196 million represented a 2.6% increase over the FY2004 enacted level of $192
million. The Administration requested an increase of $2 million to complete the
construction of the Harper’s Ferry Training Center (HFTC). H.Rept. 108-541
recommended a total of $221 million for FLETC, representing an increase of $25
million compared to the Administration’s request, and 15.1% increase compared to
the enacted FY2004 level. This increase was comprised of $23 million in funds
transferred from CBP for the Charleston, South Carolina Training Facility; and $2
million for the DHS pay and performance demonstration project. S.Rept. 108-280
recommended $224 million for FLETC. S.Rept. 108-280 did not include the
requested $2 million to complete construction at the HFTC; but does include the $23

release, Jan. 29, 2004, at [http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/display?content=3092].

million transfer for CBP’s Charleston facility, and the $2 million for the pay and
performance demonstration. S.Rept. 108-280 also includes an additional $5 million
for the construction of perimeter security at FLETC’s Artesia firearms range.
Science and Technology Directorate (S&T). The S&T Directorate is
tasked with the research, development, testing, and evaluation of homeland security
capabilities. S&T also coordinates with federal, state and local government and the
private sector to conduct its activities. As mentioned above, S&T is requesting the
largest increase in funding of all the Title IV components. The FY2005 request of
$1,039 million represented a 13.8% increase over enacted FY2004 funding. P.L.
108-334 provides $1,115 million for S&T. H.Rept. 108-541 recommended a total

DHS appropriations.
FY2005 Budget Resolution, S.Con.Res. 95 /H.Con.Res. 393
The concurrent resolution sets forth the congressional budget for FY2005. The
resolution proposes federal budget levels for FY2005 through FY2009. On May 19,
2004, the House agreed to the conference report to S.Con.Res. 95. The Senate did
not adopt the conference agreement before the end of FY2004.²⁷
The Senate passed its version of the budget resolution, S.Con.Res. 95, on March

12, 2004. H.Con.Res. 393 (H.Rept. 108-441) was passed by the House on March 25,

2004. On March 29, 2004, the House incorporated the provisions of H.Con.Res. 393
into S.Con.Res. 95, which then passed the House.
H.Con.Res. 393 (and the House-passed version of S.Con.Res. 95) contains a
new budget function ‘(100) Homeland Security’. In the report accompanying
H.Con.Res. 393 (H.Rept. 108-441) the House Committee on Appropriation states
that the additional functional category is necessary because “homeland security has
become an important separate spending category.”²⁸ According to H.Rept. 108-441,
Function 100 comprises all homeland security spending in the federal government,
except the portion provided by the Department of Defense. H.Rept. 108-441 also
states that approximately 58% of federal government spending on homeland security
“occurs in the Department of Homeland Security.” The Senate-passed version of
S.Con.Res. 95 does not contain a new budget function for homeland security. The
conference agreement H.Rept. 108-498 does not include a new budget function for
Homeland Security.
