Joint Task Force-Armed Forces Inaugural Committee
According to the FAQs on its website, JTF-AFIC funding for the 2005 inauguration is: "$4 million, with about $3 million in Fiscal Year 2004 and just over $1 million in FY 2005.  The largest portion of this budget is used for such things as computers, communications, equipment, supplies, vehicle support, training, utilities, maintenance, and travel."

Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies
JCCIC has a budget of $1.25 million to carry out its activities (Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill, 2005; became Public Law 108-447 on Dec. 8, 2004). >
