ONE POTENTIAL SOURCE THUS FAR IDENTIFIED WOULD BE FBI REIMBURSEMENT TO DOD UNDER ECONOMY ACT OF 1932. THIS STATUTE WOULD AUTHORIZE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR LEGITIMATE U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSES. JUSTICE HAS INTERPRETED AS REQUIRING THAT U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL (I.E. FBI) BE PRIMARY RECIPIENTS OF SUPPORT AND THEREFORE THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE PRESENT ON ALL HELICOPTER MISSIONS.
