A/DNI Releases FY 2021 Budget Request Figure for the National Intelligence Program

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Acting Director of National Intelligence (A/DNI) is disclosing the aggregate amount of $61.9 billion in requested appropriations for the Fiscal Year 2021 National Intelligence Program (NIP).

The A/DNI discloses this amount consistent with section 601 of the Implementing the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (P.L. 110-53), as amended (50 U.S.C. 3306).

Any and all subsidiary information concerning the NIP budget, whether the information concerns particular intelligence agencies or particular intelligence programs, will not be disclosed. Beyond the disclosure of the NIP topline figure, there will be no other disclosures of currently classified NIP budget information because such disclosures could harm national security.

The only exceptions to the foregoing are for unclassified appropriations, such as for the Intelligence Community Management Account.
