Department of Homeland Security transfers: This budget proposes to transfer all Immigration and Naturalization Service and immigration-related detention resources to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-296).

Transfer associated with the Establishment of the Election Assistance Commission: The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-252) authorized the Election Assistance Commission to perform the election reform activities requested in 2003 under the Office of Justice Program's Election Reform Program. Thus $400,000,000 requested in 2003 has been removed from DOJ's request.

Display of Program Restructuring
Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2004 budget proposes to streamline the decision unit structure of DOJ components to align more closely with the mission and the strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2001-2006). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect each component'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. Charts reflecting the new major program activity structure for each component are included with this document.In addition, for bureaus with Construction appropriations (including the Buildings and Facilities account in the Federal Prison System), the construction funds have been included with the major program activities supported by such funds to reflect the full cost of those activities. For state and local activities, all funds have been shown under major program activities in the Justice Assistance, Community Oriented Policing Services and Crime Victims Fund accounts. Funding for State and Local Assistance, Weed and Seed, Juvenile Justice, and Public Safety Officers Benefits programs is included in the Office of Justice and separate appropriations are not requested.
