Justice discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Justice's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds review and processing of clemency petitions, providing the President with recommendations on pardons and sentence commutations.
