I Checked The White House Web Site
The 'bill' or 'memo' that was refered to seems actually to be part of the budget proposal. Here is what it says.
**********************************
Immigration Services
· The CIS budget includes $1.8 billion, a 9% increase ($143 million) over FY 2003 to support further improvements in application processing as well as the processing of projected volume. The $1.8 billion is comprised of $236 million in appropriated funding and approximately $1.6 billion in projected fee revenues.
· The CIS budget supports the President's five-year, $500 million initiative, begun in FY 2002, to attain a universal six-month processing time standard for all immigration benefit applications, and provide quality service to all legal immigrants, citizens, businesses and other CIS customers. The third $100 million installment of the President's five-year plan consists of $20 million from revenues generated by the Premium Processing Service fee and $80 million in appropriated funds.
**********************************
Given the recent GAO audit results, where it made it clear that since the CIS did not know how much it cost to process an applicator or have a system to track an applicatiions prgress and that they did not know how much it would cost to clear the backlog.
