The Department of Justice (Justice) and its subsidiary agencies play a key role in protecting the public from violence and criminal activity, such as drug smuggling and acts of terrorism. To execute this role, Justice and its agencies rely extensively on information technology (IT), investing about $2 billion annually in this area. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), in particular, invested about $459 million in fiscal year 2002 to fulfill its part of Justice's mission. As the parent organization, Justice is responsible for overseeing its subsidiary agencies' investments in IT to ensure that they meet system commitments, including delivery of promised system capabilities and benefits on time and within budget.
