1Includes only Southwest border district and sector obligations (personnel salaries and benefits and general expenses) and general expense items funded on behalf of the Legal Proceedings program. Southwest border districts include El Paso, Harlingen, San Antonio, San Diego and Phoenix and sectors include McAllen, Marfa, Laredo, El Paso, Del Rio, Yuma, Tucson, El Centro and San Diego.
2 Does not include centrally funded items such as rent, Federal Telecommunications System (the long distance service used by the Department), Accident/Employment Compensation, Payroll Services, major equipment purchases, such as vehicles and computers, etc., because these costs are managed and obligated at Headquarters. Therefore, all of the costs associated with the Southwest border cannot be captured. This also makes it nearly impossible to readily compare #4, which DOES NOT include overhead, to #3 which DOES include overhead.
3 FY 1997 Enacted includes approved reprogrammings to date. Portions of the INS budget supporting all Southwest border missions is an estimate to date based on actuals through June 30, and projected on a straightline basis.
4 FY 1998 Request for INS budget supporting all Southwest border missions is the FY 1997 Enacted plus inflation and increases requested in FY 1998 that are targeted for the Southwest border. The total Full Time Personnel (FTP) On-Board for FY 1998 is the sum of the FY 1997 Enacted of 26,795, plus the new FTP positions required in the FY 1998 President's request, which is 1,570.
