                                 A BILL


 
 To require a separate, unclassified statement of the aggregate amount 
             of budget outlays for intelligence activities.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Aggregate Intelligence Budget 
Disclosure Act of 1995''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE.

    It is the purpose of this Act to require the publication of the 
aggregate intelligence budget figure to provide a more thorough 
accounting of Government expenditures as required by article I, section 
9, clause 7 of the Constitution.

SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) article I, section 9, clause 7 of the Constitution 
        states that ``No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in 
        Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular 
        Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all 
        public Money shall be published from time to time.'';
            (2) during the Cold War the United States did not provide 
        to the American people a ``regular Statement and Account of the 
        .  .  . Expenditures'' for intelligence activities; and
            (3) the failure to provide to the American people a 
        statement of the total amount of expenditures on intelligence 
        activities prevents them from participating in an informed, 
        democratic decision concerning the appropriate level for such 
        expenditures.

SEC. 4. ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF INTELLIGENCE 
              EXPENDITURES FOR THE PRECEDING FISCAL YEAR.

    Section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, is amended by 
adding at the end thereof the following new paragraph:
            ``(33) a separate, unclassified statement of the total 
        amount of budget outlays for the preceding fiscal year for 
        national and tactical intelligence activities, including 
        activities carried out under the budget of the Department of 
        Defense to collect, analyze, produce, disseminate, or support 
        the collection of intelligence.''.
                                 <all>
