Bush on Wednesday signed into law the Commerce, State, Justice appropriations bill, a 2002 spending package that contains significant funding for a range of cyber-security and online crime-fighting programs. "At this critical time, when we are mounting a world-wide effort to defeat terrorism, I appreciate that this bill provides significant new funding for our federal law-enforcement agencies in the Department of Justice, our diplomatic operations overseas, and for enhanced embassy security," the president said in a statement. The $41.6 billion appropriations measure includes funding for programs to fight cyber-crime, child pornography, and intellectual property theft. The package also includes money for technology research programs. The bill directs U.S. attorneys to provide a total of $10 million for cyber-crime and enforcement against intellectual property violations, such as software piracy. It also includes a dramatic boost in funding for the Commerce Department's Advanced Technology Program, which provides support for moving experimental technologies from the laboratory into the marketplace. The Bush administration had promised to cease funding for the $200 million program, but the conference bill includes $184.5 million for the program, rather than the $13 million proposed in the House bill and $204.2 million offered in the Senate bill. In fact, the technology program will enjoy even more funding than last year, due to a carryover of $33 million from fiscal year 2000, which brings the total available 2002 funding for the Advanced Technology Program to $218 million. The bill provides roughly $55 million to fund several Justice Department programs at their current funding levels, including $1.5 million for the Center for Rural Law Enforcement Technology, which includes funding for facial recognition devices and DNA research. The bill also funds several other Justice programs, including $9.2 million worth of computer equipment, forensic research and an instant background check system for the White Collar Crime Information Center. It also earmarks $6.5 million for the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, a Justice Department program designed to beef up law enforcement investigations into child pornography. The spending package also includes $22.9 million for the Missing Children Program, $2.3 million of which will fund the CyberTipline and Exploited Child Unit.
