 Costs Of FBI Undercover Operations







 During fiscal years 1979 through 1981, the
 FBI spent about $10.8 million for identified
 undercover operation expenses. This amount
excludes the costs of salaries for undercover
agents which could not be determined from
available records. It also excludes the costs,
still being incurred, of litigating and settling
claims and lawsuits resulting from under-
cover operations. Six lawsuits involving
claims of $18.4 million had been settled for
about $1.1 million as of December 31,
1982. At that date, 16 claims for about
$333.4 million were pending.

As agreed with the Subcommittee on Civil
and Constitutional Rights, House Committee
on the Judiciary, GAO did not pursue access
to undercover cost and investigative data
that FBI officials considered sensitive.
Consequently, GAO could neither determine
the total cost of undercover operations, nor
independently verify the accuracy of the
cost data provided by the FBI.
