* The Department of Justice 2008 budget request was built on a starting point that recognized progress in enacting the FY 2007 appropriation. The starting point used (referred to throughout this document as the "Estimate") is the average of the Senate Committee and House passed marks, less one percent, unless noted otherwise.
 
/1 The current services level for Construction is bracketed for display purposes. The amount is included within the S&E total because the 2007 and 2008 requests combine the Construction and S&E appropriations into one streamlined budget in accordance with the President's Management Reform Agenda.
 
/2 JPATS permanent positions reflected here are for illustrative purposes only; they are funded from program revenues and are not included in the USMS total positions.

Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the United States Marshals Service FY 2008 budget proposes to merge Construction Appropriation funds into the Salaries and Expenses Appropriation and streamline the USMS decision unit structure from 9 decision units to 5 decision units. This alignment more closesly reflects the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2003 - 2008). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect the USMS's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs.

Additionally, $2,705,000 is requested to enhance the USMS network bandwidth, thereby improving the performance of critical agency information systems and providing for a secure, fully encrypted communications environment.
