What the document says

“For necessary expenses of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for detection, investigation, and prosecution of crimes against the United States, $10,609,456,000, of which not to exceed $216,900,000 shall remain available until expended”

Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

The salaries and expenses account of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the largest account in the Justice title. A separate $15,000,000 is appropriated for bureau construction, and section 222 of the title bars further obligation of certain leftover headquarters money until architectural and engineering plans are sent to the appropriations committees.

What the document actually says

“For necessary expenses of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for detection, investigation, and prosecution of crimes against the United States, $10,609,456,000, of which not to exceed $216,900,000 shall remain available until expended”

That sentence, in plain words

The FBI gets $10,609,456,000. Of that, up to $216,900,000 has no end date.

What this is about

The FBI looks into federal crimes. It also does spy catching work. This is the biggest single sum in the Justice part.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
