ILEA FUNDING

To operate the ILEA, the FBI utilizes two separate DOS funding agreements; Freedom Support Act (FSA) funds and Support for Eastern European Democracy (SEED) Act funds. The FBI is reimbursed through DOS in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Interagency Agreement between DOS and the FBI.

It is the FBI's understanding that funding for ILEA, Budapest, falls under the Foreign Assistance Act which specifies the amount of aide individual countries will receive under that Act. In this case, DOS funding for ILEA is limited to those countries comprising the Russian Federation and Newly Independent States.

The following is a list of countries eligible to receive FSA and SEED funds:
