Spies ask for increase in ‘black budget’
The Obama administration asked for Congress to fund federal intelligence agencies $3 billion more in 2017 than it did last year.
In its $4.1 trillion budget request on Tuesday, the administration included $53.5 billion to be spread across the 17 agencies funded under the National Intelligence Program, an umbrella funding system.
The $53.3 billion request is $400 million less than the Obama administration requested last year, but a full $3 billion more than it was given in fiscal 2015.
