THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, November 10, 2016. 

Hon. PAUL D. RYAN, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Budget amendments for national security activities at the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of 

State (State), and the U.S. Agency for International Development 

(USAID) to fund Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). 

These amendments would provide $5.8 billion for DOD OCO activities to support the Afghan National Defense and Security 

Forces, and to degrade and ultimately defeat the Islamic State of 

Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), including through military operations 

as part of Operation Inherent Resolve. For State and USAID, a 

total of $5.8 billion would support the Administration’s counterISIL and counterterrorism objectives, including the efforts to implement the diplomatic engagement, governance, and stabilization 

components of my Administration’s counter-ISIL strategy, strengthen embassy security, and respond to relief and recovery needs, as 

well as provide additional humanitarian assistance for areas liberated from ISIL and other unforeseen needs. 

Overall, these amendments would increase the OCO funding requested for FY 2017 by $11.6 billion, for a total FY 2017 OCO request of $85.3 billion. Consistent with last year’s bipartisan budget 

agreement, these amendments would provide equal funding increases for defense and non-defense security programs. 

The details of these amendments are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

While these amendments focus on funding our overseas national 

security efforts, our efforts here at home are equally important to 

fighting terrorism and protecting the American people. For this 

reason, I urge the Congress to fully fund not only the international 

security needs outlined in this request, but also the domestic security programs included in the FY 2017 Budget. Specifically, the 

Congress should fund critical cybersecurity programs and ensure 

the Nation has the resources needed to aggressively counter evolving cybersecurity threats. I also encourage the Congress to provide 

the resources necessary for the Department of Homeland Security’s 

Transportation Security Administration and its Countering Violent 

Extremism programs. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

[Estimate No. 3, 114th Congress, 2nd Session] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, November 10, 2016. 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: Submitted for your consideration are 

amendments to your Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Budget for national security activities at the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of State (State) and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), to be designated as Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). 

These amendments would provide the resources needed to continue tailored support to help the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), and support your comprehensive strategy 

to degrade, and ultimately defeat, the Islamic State of Iraq and the 

Levant (ISIL), including military operations associated with Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR). These amendments include an additional $5.8 billion for DOD OCO funding (for an FY 2017 OCO total 

of $64.6 billion) for military operations associated with Afghanistan 

and OIR; as well as an increase of $5.8 billion for State and USAID 

OCO funding (for an FY 2017 OCO total of $20.7 billion) to support 

the Administration’s counter-ISIL and counterterrorism objectives, 

including the efforts to implement the diplomatic engagement, governance, and stabilization components of the Administration’s 

counter-ISIL strategy, strengthen embassy security, and respond to 

relief and recovery needs, as well as to provide additional humanitarian assistance for areas liberated from ISIL and other unforeseen needs. 

These amendments include $2.5 billion for DOD to maintain approximately 8,400 troops in Afghanistan through FY 2017, consistent with your announcement on July 6, 2016. Since the U.S. 

combat mission in Afghanistan ended in December 2014, the 

ANDSF have assumed full responsibility for Afghanistan’s security 

nationwide. The ANDSF have grown stronger, but continue to face 

a determined insurgency. Maintaining a U.S. force posture of approximately 8,400 troops into 2017, together with our 41 allies and 

partners who together contribute another 6,000 troops, would enable the NATO-led coalition to continue to provide focused assistance on crucial capabilities such as intelligence, logistics, aviation, 

and command and control. This critical support would help the 

ANDSF secure their country and prevent Afghanistan from being 

used as a safe haven for terrorists to attack our Nation. This U.S. 

force level also preserves the counterterrorism platforms that are 

central to your post-2016 plan. This request also includes $814.5 million to provide essential capabilities to the Afghan Air Force and Special Mission Wing. This 


rfrederick on DSKBCBPHB2PROD with HEARING
4 

funding would enable DOD to start transitioning Afghanistan’s 

aging and battle-worn fleet of Russian-made helicopters to U.S.- 

made helicopters. Transitioning to U.S. platforms will ensure that 

Afghan forces have the necessary tactical capabilities for warfare 

in the rugged Afghan countryside, as well as uninterrupted access 

to parts and services to maintain their helicopters. This request 

also includes funding for additional fixed-wing aircraft that would 

provide Afghan commanders with close air support capability. 

Based on the U.S.-led global coalition’s sustained progress in Iraq 

and Syria, our approach to countering ISIL continues to evolve 

with emerging requirements and additional funding needs identified subsequent to the FY 2017 OCO request submitted to the Congress in February. The coalition continues to enable local partners 

to challenge ISIL’s territorial control in Iraq and Syria and disrupt 

its efforts to plan external attacks through the use of precision airstrikes, Special Operations forces, and intelligence collection and 

exploitation, along with the development of capable local ground 

forces in Iraq and Syria. To seize the opportunities created by successes in recent months, your military and civilian leaders recommend intensifying our efforts as Iraqi forces begin to engage 

ISIL forces in Mosul. These amendments request funding for DOD 

to support a range of military operations against ISIL in the Middle East region, including: • sustainment of U.S. personnel forward deployed to the 

U.S. Central Command area of operations, including the additional forces you recently approved, who are providing training, 

advice, and assistance to partner security forces engaged in the 

fight against ISIL; • operations and maintenance costs for air and ground operations; • enabling activities that support forces and operations, especially the people, platforms, and network capabilities that 

will allow a surge in intelligence collection, analysis, exploitation, and sharing among coalition partners that is essential 

to countering not only ISIL’s core and branches, but its ability 

to conduct external operations and extend its influence in 

cyberspace; and 

• stipend support to Kurdish Peshmerga forces in cooperation with the Iraqi government, in order to reinforce the Iraqi 

Kurds’ continued constructive engagement in counter-ISIL operations toward Mosul and respond to economic pressures 

faced by the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq. 

The request for State and USAID includes $5.8 billion to support 

implementation of the diplomatic engagement, governance, stabilization and other components of the Administration’s counterISIL and counterterrorism objectives as well as to provide additional humanitarian assistance for areas liberated from ISIL and 

other unforeseen needs. State and USAID funding would support: 

• unexploded ordnance and explosive remnants of war removal in severely contaminated areas that have been liberated 

from ISIL across Iraq, Syria, and Libya; 

• immediate stabilization needs for liberated areas in Iraq, 

including support for the Funding Facility for Immediate Stabilization in Iraq; 


rfrederick on DSKBCBPHB2PROD with HEARING
5 

• support for State’s Global Engagement Center to strengthen counter-violent extremism communication; 

• police training, stabilization and core development work in 

northern Nigeria and the broader Lake Chad Basin region affected by Boko Haram/ISIL West Africa Province; 

• increased diplomatic presence in Somalia, along with enhanced stabilization and governance support to improve community resistance to the influence of extremist groups; 

• support for peace processes and emerging countering violent extremism and counterterrorism needs in Africa, Asia, and 

other crisis areas; 

• increased diplomatic movements in and out of Syria, 

Libya, and Yemen as the security situation on the ground allows; 

• longer-term stabilization needs for additional areas liberated from ISIL in the future and other unforeseen needs arising from the historic global refugee crisis, including support for 

such multilateral funding instruments as the Syria Recovery 

Trust Fund, the United Nations (UN) Development Program’s 

Funding Facility for Expanded Stabilization, and the UN Stabilization Fund for Libya; 

• expanded technical assistance for the transitional government in Libya and support to political processes in Yemen; 

• a Relief and Recovery Fund that would provide flexible 

funding to support a range of additional needs following the 

counter-ISIL campaign; 

• humanitarian assistance for areas liberated from ISIL and 

other unforeseen needs; and 

• a one-time increase for embassy security to accelerate 

planned construction and security enhancement projects. 

Overall, these amendments would increase the OCO funding requested for FY 2017 by $11.6 billion, for a total FY 2017 OCO request of $85.3 billion. Consistent with last year’s bipartisan budget 

agreement, these amendments would provide equal funding increases for defense and non-defense security programs. 

While these amendments focus on funding our overseas national 

security efforts, our efforts here at home are equally important to 

fighting terrorism and protecting the American people. For this 

reason, the Congress should fully fund domestic security programs, 

including needs that have arisen since submission of your FY 2017 

Budget. While the Congress has supported many of the cybersecurity programs included in the FY 2017 Budget, additional needs remain outstanding in areas such as securing Federal information 

technology systems, protecting critical infrastructure, and investing 

in our cybersecurity workforce. In addition, the Department of 

Homeland Security requires funding for the Transportation Security Administration to maintain its enhanced operational posture 

and upgrade outdated equipment, and for grant funding and programs that support Countering Violent Extremism efforts. We will 

work with the Congress to ensure these needs are included in FY 

2017 appropriations.

I have reviewed these amendments and am satisfied that they 

are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the heads of the affected Departments and agencies in recommending that you transmit the amendments to the Congress.

FY 2017 Pending Request: $2,132,249,000 

Proposed Amendment: $746,210,000 

Revised Request: $2,878,459,000 

(In the appropriations language under the above subheading, delete ‘‘$2,132,249,000’’ and substitute $2,878,459,000, and delete 

‘‘$1,815,210,000’’ and substitute $2,372,810,000.) 

This amendment would provide an additional $746.2 million for 

Diplomatic and Consular Programs (D&CP) to fund necessary diplomatic engagement expenses to support the counter-ISIL strategy, 

including expanded personnel support, facility and security resources in key locations, and investment in the platforms that will 

allow for sustainability of counter-ISIL gains. Given that U.S. Embassies in Libya and Yemen have been on departure status for 

more than a year, and are operating remotely, and U.S. Embassies 

in West Africa operate on minimum staffing, this requirement 

places a premium on building back presence, oversight, and local 

engagement as quickly as security and resources allow. The D&CP 

funding includes $557.6 million for Worldwide Security Protection, 

which would support increased diplomatic movements and securityrelated activities within areas impacted by ISIL or other violent extremists. Other D&CP funding would support enhanced public diplomacy and the Global Engagement Center to further counterISIL messaging and efforts to counter violent extremism.
