All I can say is we have an interpretation from the Bureau of the Budget. in writing. after a very careful examination of the proposed amendment. and the language itself I think is clear: The amounts appropriated by this act for the operation of lawenforcement agencies. Including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. the Bureau of Customs. the Immigration and Naturalization Service. and the Secret Service are exempt. and so are the funds for the payment of compensation and expenses of agents and auditors of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and other officers and agents. whose duties pertain to intelligence operations. Including funds transferred pursuant to section 6 (a) of the act of June 20. 1949. or the investigation. apprehension. prosecution. or detention of persons suspected or convicted of offenses against the criminal laws of the United States. The exact language may be seen on page 4. subsection (I).
