Background and Discussion:
In pursuant to the provisions of 31 USC 9705, the Treasury Forfeiture Fund Act 1992, state and local

Houston, other investigative expenses, such as travel, fuel, training, equipment and other similar costs
incurred by officers(s) assigned as members of the designated joint operations with the HSI SAC Houston.
Expected Impact:
HCDAO will be reimbursed for overtime salary expenses directly related to work on a joint operation, at a
