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 USMS's decision unit structure from 9 program activities to 3 to align the USMS'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 the USMS'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 4: Ensure the Fair and Efficient Operation of the Federal Justice System 114 57 $12,847
         
1.  Judicial and Courtroom Security for High Threat Events         
         
The USMS requests 94 positions, 47 workyears, and $8,897,000 to meet the judiciary's need for more security.  Escalating security alert levels since the terrorist attacks on September 11th have led to increased security requirements across the country.  Terrorist-related court proceedings require an added level of security because of the potential for terroist attacks and the global interest generated by intense media attention.  FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 2,990 positions (2,272 criminal investigators/deputies), 2,930 workyears, and $485,980,000.       
       
2.  Witness Security Program        
         
The USMS requests 15 positions, 8 workyears, and $1,922,000 to provide additional investigators to handle the increasing complexity and volume of protection services for witnesses and their families.  The inspectors are located throughout the country to relocate and protect program participants when they are needed to testify in court.  All program participants require direct assistance with identity document processing, job hunting and training, finding a home, and secure transportation.  Also, the "War on Terror" will have a significant impact on the Witness Security Program because of the added difficulties of protecting and relocating foreign-born witnesses.  FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 183 positions (144 criminal investigators), 177 workyears, and $19,500,000.      
         
3.  Information Technology Security        
         
The USMS requests 5 positions, 2 workyears, and $478,000 to preserve the integrity, reliability, availability, and confidentiality of USMS data systems.  These positions will permit the USMS to detect unauthorized intrusions, respond to critical computer security issues, comply with Federal and Departmental security standards, and resolve audit weaknesses and vulnerabilities.  FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are 94 positions, 92 workyears, and $36,947,000.      
         
4.  Contract for Maintenance and Repair of Existing Security Equipment        
         
The USMS requests $1,550,000 to provide for the continuous operation of all security equipment in USMS-controlled space.  Security equipment is added to the nationwide service contract at the end of the one-year warranty.  This increase will insure that preventive maintenance is performed, and that repair and/or replacement of equipment, if necessary, is accomplished within hours.  FY 2005 base resources for this initiative are $6,529,000.      
         
Program Offsets 0 0 -$6,150
         
1.  Court Security Officer Rent Reimbursement        
         
Funding for Court Security Officers (CSO) is provided through the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (Courts) appropriation.  The USMS has been working with the districts to identify and verify CSO space and believes that additional funding should be provided by the Courts.  With the concurrence of the Courts, the USMS seeks $2,000,000 in rent reimbursement, which effectively reduces USMS direct funding by the same amount.         
         
2.  Pay Raise Absorption        
         
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 reflects the higher pay raise.  DOJ proposes to offset the additiona $1,864,000 in annualization costs in the USMS appropriation by reducing district and headquarters operating plans.      
 
3.  Streamlining Initiatives        
         
The budget proposes a reduction of $2,286,000.  This reduction continues the FY 2004 streamlining initiatives; the USMS intends to implement this reduction nationwide through a decrease in travel funding.
