                                     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 counter-ISIL 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 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 counter-ISIL 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;
           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.
Recommendation
    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.
            Sincerely,
                                             Shaun Donovan,
                                                          Director.

    This amendment would provide $814.5 million to begin 
transitioning the Afghan National Defense Security Forces 
(ANDSF) from Russian-manufactured rotary wing aircraft to U.S.-
manufactured rotary wing aircraft. The current fleet of Russian 
helicopters is increasingly difficult to sustain and will 
require significant recapitalization in the coming years. This 
amendment would also provide for additional cargo and close air 
support aircraft for the ANDSF. Close air support remains the 
single greatest operational challenge for the ANDSF.

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 security-related 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 counter-ISIL messaging 
and efforts to counter violent extremism.
