1.� National Infrastructure Protection and Computer Intrusion Program (NIPCIP)� - Field Investigations
The FBI requests 138 positions (81 agents), 69 workyears, and $21,025,000 to enhance the NIPCIP's ability to respond to computer intrusions and threats.� The amount requested includes $6,000,000 for technical equipment required to conduct computer intrusion investigations.� The requested resources will enhance field office capacity to address the NIPCIP computer intrusions and threats in a more timely manner and improve the FBI's capability to identify and arrest those individuals engaged in criminal computer intrusions.
2.� Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF)
The events of September 11, 2001, the anthrax attacks, and the directives issued by the Attorney General regarding anti-terrorism task forces have inspired unprecedented interest by federal, state, and local agencies to participate in the FBI's JTTF Program.� The FBI requests $15,677,000 to support a total of 56 JTTFs in 2003.� These resources are required for the rental of space and renovation of offsite facilities as well as operational expenses such as state and local overtime, supplies, etc.
