HR 5167 is the annual funding authorization for U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA and NSA, for fiscal year 2026. Most specific budget figures are kept in a classified annex not released to the public, though congressional committees and the President have access to them.
The bill directly affects federal intelligence agencies, their employees, and retirees, whose budgets and operating authority it sets for the year. It indirectly affects all Americans through its connection to national security and counterterrorism work.
Because most spending details are classified, the general public and lawmakers outside intelligence committees will not see exactly how the money is used. The bill also limits activities to those already permitted under the Constitution or existing law.
The bill publicly discloses two figures: $642 million for the Intelligence Community Management Account and $514 million for the CIA's retirement and disability fund; all other amounts are classified.
