Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to present the 2000-2001 interim appropriation for the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice requires $32,764,082 for the operations and maintenance budget during the four-month interim period. This translates into 55 percent of the 2000-2001 preliminary target. The department also requires $2,786,000 for the capital budget during the interim period, which works out to be 88 percent of the 2000-2001 preliminary target.
You have before you the details of the department's interim financial requirements. I am ready to answer any questions that you might have. Mahsi, Mr. Chairman.
