Mr. Rankin. And that is why you object?
Mr. Rowley. That is right.
Mr. Rankin. But as far as any provision that has been made historically for the FBI to have funds so they can supplement and assist you, you have no objection to that?
Mr. Rowley. No objection at all.
Representative Ford. Do you know how much in the way of funds have been utilized through that provision?
Mr. Rowley. No; I would not know of my own knowledge, Congressman, because that would be under the jurisdiction of the FBI and the Budget Bureau.
Representative Ford. In other words, they don't take money that they get through their appropriation bill, and transfer it to the Secret Service?
Mr. Rowley. No.
Representative Ford. This is simply a provision which authorizes them to use whatever funds they get for this purpose?
Mr. Rowley. That is correct.
