Allows the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), with the approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, to authorize employment of civilian personnel in excess of the number authorized for FY 2003 (by not more than two percent) when necessary to the performance of important intelligence functions. Requires notification of the congressional intelligence committees.
