National Intelligence Director To Cut $85 Billion Over 10 Years

After years of continuous growth, intelligence community budgets are headed down. James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, says he's submitted plans for a 10-year reduction. He says cuts will amount to double digits of billions of dollars. Efficiencies in technology usage will account for a big chunk of the reductions. Clapper says he'll also consider reducing the number of field offices around the world. The exact intelligence budget is secret, but analysts estimate it to be around $85 billion.
