Disclosure of the Aggregate Intelligence Budget for FY98

Statement by the Director of Central Intelligence Regarding the Disclosure of the Aggregate Intelligence Budget for Fiscal Year 1998

March 20, 1998

 

In October 1997, the Administration released the aggregate amount appropriated for intelligence and intelligence-related activities for fiscal year 1997, which was $26.6 billion. At that time, I issued a public statement that disclosure of future aggregate intelligence budgets would be considered only after determining whether such disclosures could cause harm to national security.

After careful review, I am announcing the release of the aggregate amount appropriated for intelligence and intelligence-related activities for fiscal year 1998 because it has been determined that this release will not harm national security or otherwise harm intelligence sources and methods. The fiscal year 1998 figure is $26.7 billion.
