SUBJECT:

Director 

Designation ofF ng as an Emergency Requirement 

Congress designated as an emergency requirement all funding in division B of the 

Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018. Section 2003 of division B of the Act 

provides that the availability of funding that is designated by the Congress as an emergency 

requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 

Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA) is contingent upon the President subsequently so designating all 

such amounts and transmitting such designations to the Congress. 

The Act provides a net total of$4.7 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2018 emergency funding 

for missile defense. 

I recommend that you designate as an emergency requirement all funding so designated 

by the Congress in the Act pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) ofBBEDCA, as outlined in the 

enclosed list of accounts. Upon transmittal of these designations to the Congress, these funds 

will be immediately available for obligation and expenditure. No further congressional action 

will be required. 

The designation of these funds as emergency requirements allows for adjustments to the 

discretionary spending limits in FY 2018, as specified in section 251(b)(2)(A) ofBBEDCA. 

These adjustments will be reflected when the Office of Management and Budget submits its final 

sequestration report for FY 2018 in accordance with section 254(1) of BBEDCA. 

I have reviewed this proposed action and am satisfied it is necessary at this time. 

Therefore, I recommend that you make the requested funds available by signing the enclosed 

letters to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate.
