Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2005 budget proposes to merge construction funds into the Salaries and Expenses Account and streamline the ICDE's decision unit structure from 4 program activities to 2 to align ICDE's budget more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2003-2008).  In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect ICDE'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. 
                           
Program Improvements by Strategic Goal                      
                           
Goal 2: Enforce Federal Laws and Represent the Rights and Interests of the American People 233 117 $25,076
                           
1.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Workforce                      
                           
OCDETF requests 113 positions (71 attorneys), 57 workyears, and $9,623,000 to address the staffing imbalances that exist in approximately 52 judicial districts nationwide in which the ratio of OCDETF law enforcement personnel to prosecutors greatly exceeds the recommended ratio for the successful investigation and prosecution of a typical OCDETF case.  This request represents the first phase of a four-year plan to achieve a ratio of 1 Assistant U.S. Attorney for every 4.5 investigative agents.  Total FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 965 positions, 905 workyears, and $103,790,000.      
                           
2.  OCDETF Fugitive Apprehension                
                           
OCDETF requests 28 positions (26 agents), 14 workyears, and $4,320,000 to increase the capacity of the U.S. Marshals Service to identify and apprehend OCDETF fugitives.  This enhancement will establish fugitive apprehension units within each of the 9 OCDETF regions.  Total FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 13 positions, 13 workyears, and $2,117,000      
                           
3.  Fusion Center Operational Support                      
                           
OCDETF requests 60 positions (26 agents), 30 workyears, and $6,344,000 to support and expand the capacity of the Fusion Center to analyze drug trafficking and related financial investigative information and to disseminate investigative leads to OCDETF participants.  This initiative provides resources to DEA, FBI, and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be assigned to the DEA Special Operations Division, as well as the field, to coordinate and conduct nationwide investigations generated as a result of analysis by Fusion Center personnel.      
                           
4.  OCDETF Accountability & Oversight                      
                           
OCDETF requests 4 positions, 2 workyears, and $316,000 to implement and support an accountability system at the district, regional and national levels.  This initiative will allow OCDETF to ensure that OCDETF resources remain focused on activities that futher the Program's mission and achieve measurable results.  This is a new initiative.      
                           
5.  Increase IRS Participation in OCDETF                      
                           
OCDETF requests 28 positions (24 agents), 14 workyears, and $4,473,000 to increase the overall IRS participation in OCDETF, allowing IRS to participate in 61 percent of OCDETF investigations with an active financial component.  Total FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 494 positions, 487 workyears, and $73,918,000      
                           
Program Offsets 0 0 -$1,166
                           
The President's 2004 budget requested a 2 percent average pay raise for federal workers in 2004.  However, the FY 2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act includes language granting civilian federal employees a 4.1 percent average pay raise in 2004.  The FY 2005 budget request reflects the higher pay raise.  ICDE proposes to offset the additional $1,166,000 in annualization costs through management efficiencies within Other Services
