The FBI would receive $61.8 million and 201 more employees or contractors  
to support the agency's "surveillance capabilities to collect evidence and  
intelligence," the DOJ said in a statement on Monday afternoon. That would  
allow the FBI to devote more resources than ever to controversial spy  
technologies like Carnivore, keyboard logging devices, and Magic Lantern. 
 
Included in that figure is: $5.6 million to expand an unnamed FBI "data  
collection facility," $32 million and 194 positions devoted to intelligence and  
information gathering, $10.9 million for expanded electronic surveillance,  
$11.3 million for an "Electronic Surveillance Data Management System," and  
$2 million for the Special Operations Group's intelligence and surveillance  
operations. 
 
In addition, the FBI would receive $157.6 million to upgrade and enhance its  
computer systems. 
 
The FBI's National Infrastructure Protection and Computer Intrusion Program  
would get $21 million and 138 new hires, including 81 agents. The purpose:  
To respond to "cyber-attacks" and investigate electronic intrusions. 
 
To handle the expected increase in wiretaps, especially ones approved by  
the shadowy Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court, the Department of  
Justice itself would get a boost. The budget anticipates hiring another 10  
wiretap-specialist attorneys at a cost of $2 million.
