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 FBI's decision unit structure from 10 program activities to 4 to align the FBI's budget more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2001-2006).  In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect the FBI'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.

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.  DOJ proposes to offset the additional $40,000 in annualization costs in the Community Relations Service account through management efficiencies within Other Services (Object Class 25.2).
