FBI funding bill targets high-tech info sharing program
The House and Senate last week approved an appropriations bill that gives
the FBI $20 million for building information technology systems that
should enable its agents to more easily share information on cases they
investigate. But lawmakers on Capitol Hill first want to review the FBI's
management plan for the project before the agency can spend any of the
money. The plan, according to Congress, must lay out how the FBI will
manage the multimillion-dollar high-tech program, which relies on
cutting-edge computer hardware and software to enhance the agency's
information sharing and crime-fighting ability.
