THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, February 14, 2005. 

Hon. J. DENNIS HASTERT, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: Today, I am submitting a request for fiscal 

year 2005 supplemental appropriations of $81.9 billion for ongoing 

military and intelligence operations in support of Operation Iraqi 

Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and selected other international activities, including tsunami relief and reconstruction. 

This request reflects urgent and essential requirements. I ask the 

Congress to appropriate the funds as requested and promptly send 

the bill to me for signature. 

These funds will support U.S. Armed Forces and Coalition partners as we advance democracy, fight the insurgency, and train and 

equip Iraqi security forces so that they can defend their sovereignty 

and freedom. In Afghanistan, our Armed Forces continue to track 

down terrorists, help the Afghan people rebuild their country, and 

train and equip Afghan security forces so that Afghanistan, too, 

may continue to take control of its democratic future. 

My request will provide funds needed to repair, refurbish, and 

procure equipment needed by the Armed Forces to win the War on 

Terror. In addition, this request will fund the Army’s Modularity 

plan to restructure three brigades deploying to Iraq. 

Finally, this request will assist the Palestinians as they build a 

democratic state, will provide relief for the humanitarian crisis in 

Darfur, and will support relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction 

efforts in countries devastated by the recent Indian Ocean tsunami. 

I hereby designate the specific proposals in the amounts requested herein as emergency requirements. I urge the Congress not 

to attach to this proposal items that are not directly related to 

these emergencies abroad. The details of the request are set forth 

in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Sincerely, 

GEORGE W. BUSH. 

Enclosure.

[Estimate No. 1, 109th Cong., 1st Sess.] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, February 14, 2005. 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration is a request for fiscal year 2005 

supplemental appropriations totaling $81.9 billion to fund ongoing 

military operations in the War on Terror, reconstruction activities 

in Afghanistan, tsunami relief and reconstruction, and other purposes. This request is in addition to the $25 billion already appropriated for fiscal year 2005 War on Terror costs. 

Approximately $75 billion of the new supplemental request is for 

the Department of Defense (DOD); over $5 billion is for international functions, including the Department of State; about $1 billion is for multi-agency tsunami relief efforts; and nearly $0.4 billion for other agencies, including the Department of Energy and 

the Department of Homeland Security (U.S. Coast Guard) for 

counter-terrorism efforts to support the War on Terror. The major 

categories of funding are listed below. 

Military and Intelligence Operations 

• This request seeks $36.3 billion to fund combat operations in 

support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom during FY 2005. The two key elements in this category, mostly 

borne within the Army, are for pay and operational costs—such as 

food, water, spare parts, transportation, logistics support, and 

equipment repairs. • This category also seeks funding for a range of other items including: medical benefits and welfare/morale programs for the military; higher fuel costs; new military construction in theater; intelligence activities supporting the War on Terror and combat operations in Iraq; and an enhanced death benefit for the survivors of 

service members killed while serving our country. 

Equipment and Force Structure Changes 

• The request seeks $5.0 billion for Army ‘‘Modularity,’’ a multiyear plan to restructure the Army’s forces by creating new more 

flexible and self-sufficient brigade-sized units. The first three units 

that will be converted will be deployed into Iraq on an accelerated 

schedule, which is why we are relying on supplemental funds. 

When completed, Modularity will also increase the number of active Army combat brigades by 30 percent and reorganize the remainder of active, guard, and reserve combat and support forces. 

An additional $0.3 billion requested for the Marine Corps will help 

implement organizational changes to increase their combat effectiveness and improve rotation cycles. 

4 

• The request also seeks $5.4 billion to refurbish or replace 

equipment that is worn-out or damaged from operating in harsh 

conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and $3.3 billion to improve the 

protection of our forces by adding armor to all convoy trucks and 

buying Armored Security Vehicles, night vision equipment, and 

helicopter survivability systems. 

Iraq and Afghanistan Security Forces and Supporting Coalition 

Partners Training and Equipping 

• The request proposes two new flexible DOD accounts to support a robust effort to build Iraqi and Afghan security forces: the 

Iraq Security Forces Fund ($5.7 billion) and the Afghan Security 

Forces Fund ($1.3 billion). 

• The proposal also includes $2.0 billion for our coalition partners’ activities in direct support of our military operations, including Pakistan’s counter-terrorist operations along its border with Afghanistan and for the Polish forces in Iraq. 

International Affairs and Reconstruction Activities 

• The request contains $5.6 billion for international affairs activities. This includes State Department embassy construction and 

operations in Iraq. It also seeks aid for critical partners in the War 

on Terror; expanded reconstruction, police training and equipping, 

and counter-drug activities in Afghanistan; support for Palestinian 

efforts to build a democratic state; and activities and programs that 

the FY 2005 Budget did not anticipate—such as the humanitarian 

crisis in Darfur, Sudan and the establishment of several new international peacekeeping missions in Haiti, Burundi, Cote d’Ivoire, 

the Congo, and Sudan. These efforts not only assure the delivery 

of critical humanitarian supplies, they also provide an important 

alternative to deploying U.S. forces. 

Indian Ocean Tsunami Relief 

• The proposal includes $950 million to replenish agency costs 

incurred in the relief effort and to fund longer term reconstruction 

programs in the affected countries. The United States initially 

pledged $350 million to cover agency relief and recovery efforts. 

The supplemental will seek an additional $600 million for relief 

and longer-term reconstruction programs. Of the $950 million, 

about $700 million will go to the State Department/USAID for relief and reconstruction, about $226 million will cover DOD’s relief 

operations, and $23 million will provide for expanded U.S. tsunami 

warning capabilities. 

This request is for the purpose of fulfilling known and urgent requirements that cannot reasonably be met through the use of existing agency funds. I recommend that you designate the specific proposals contained in this transmittal as emergency requirements. 

I have carefully reviewed these proposals and am satisfied that 

they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the heads of the 

affected Departments and agencies in recommending you transmit 

the proposals to the Congress. 

Sincerely, 

JOSHUA B. BOLTEN, Director.

the funds transferred shall be merged with and be available for the 

same purposes and for the same time period as the appropriation 

to which transferred: Provided further, That the transfer authority 

provided in this paragraph is in addition to any other transfer authority available to the Department of Defense: Provided further, 

That upon a determination that all or part of the funds transferred 

from this appropriation are not necessary for the purposes provided 

herein, such amounts may be transferred back to this appropriation:

the emerging and higher-priority needs of counter-drug assistance 

to Afghanistan. Borrowing from other counternarcotics programs 

enabled DoD to begin implementation of the Administration’s accelerated assistance to Afghanistan immediately. Supplemental funds 

and enhanced authorities are required because the full scope of the 

narcotics problem in Afghanistan, and the opportunities to be exploited by a rapid, large-scale, coordinated response by the United 

States and our Coalition partners, became evident only after the 

base FY 2005 counter-drug program was completed.

assistance programs directed at shaping the international security 

environment by promoting peace, stability, and good will in Iraq, 

Afghanistan, and other areas around the world.

AFGHANISTAN SECURITY FORCES FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

For the ‘‘Afghanistan Security Forces Fund,’’ $1,285,000,000, to 

remain available until expended: Provided, That such funds shall 

be available to the Secretary of Defense, notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, for the purpose of allowing the Commander, Combined Forces Command-Afghanistan, or the Secretary’s designee, to 

provide assistance to the security forces of Afghanistan including 

the provision of equipment, supplies, services, training, facility and 

infrastructure repair, renovation, and construction, and funding: 

Provided further, That the authority to provide assistance under 

this section is in addition to any other authority to provide assistance to foreign nations: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may allocate such funds to any appropriations available to the 

Department of Defense or to any other Federal account to accomplish the purposes provided herein: Provided further, That this allocation transfer authority is in addition to any other transfer authority available to the Department of Defense: Provided further, That

organization may be credited to this Fund, and used for such purposes. 

This request would provide $1.3 billion to the Combined Forces 

Command—Afghanistan to accelerate efforts to provide assistance 

to Afghan Security Forces (including military, protective services, 

15 

and border personnel) so that they can increasingly assume responsibility for their nation’s security. Assistance provided, directly or through contracts, can include training, equipping, and deploying Afghan security forces, providing increased counterinsurgency capability for these forces, and 

assisting Afghanistan in the building of infrastructure and capabilities so that the Afghan government can begin to train, equip, 

and operate its own security forces. The request of $1.3 billion supports: • The continued development, support, and training of the Afghan National Army at a simultaneous training rate of five 

Kandaks; and • The development of training institutions, sustainment ca- pacity, command and control capabilities, and quick-response 

improvements for all the security forces. While these activities are the basis for requesting funds, the Commander on the ground and the Chief of Mission are seeking 

flexibility to respond to conditions as they change. For example, if 

a new type of military capability is necessary, the Administration 

wants to be positioned to transfer funds to meet those needs quickly and effectively.

Provided further, That contributions of funds for the purposes provided herein from any person, foreign government, or international 

organization may be credited to this Fund, and used for such purposes. 

This request would provide $5.7 billion to the Multi-National Security Transition Command—Iraq to accelerate efforts to provide 

16 

assistance to Iraqi Security Forces (including, among others, police, 

military, protective services, and border personnel) so that they can 

increasingly assume responsibility for their nation’s security. 

The Iraqi Interim and Transitional Governments, with Coalition 

assistance, have fielded over 90 battalions in order to provide security within Iraq during a period of an intense counterinsurgency 

campaign that was designed to suppress the development of democracy. All but one of these 90 battalions, however, are lightly 

equipped and armed, and have very limited mobility and 

sustainment capabilities. These limitations, coupled with a more 

resilient insurgency than anticipated when the Iraqi Security 

Forces were initially designed, have led the Prime Minister of Iraq 

to request forces that can participate in the ‘‘hard end’’ of the 

counterinsurgency, and to do so quickly. 

Assistance provided, directly or through contracts, can include 

training, equipping, and deploying Iraqi security forces, providing 

increased counterinsurgency capability for these forces, and assisting Iraq in the building of infrastructure and capabilities so that 

the Iraqi government can begin to train, equip, and operate and 

sustain its own security forces. The request of $5.7 billion supports: 

• Training, equipment, spare parts, and infrastructure for 

two Iraqi Army mechanized forces; 

• Training, equipment, and initial support for Iraqi Army 

units, to include transportation and logistical battalions; 

• Infrastructure and support for Special Operations Forces; 

• Development of sustainment, training and communications 

capabilities within Iraqi Security forces; 

• The addition of 400 Iraqi Police Liaison Officers; 

• Equipment and infrastructure for Iraqi Special Police Battalions; and 

• The operation and maintenance of police academies. 

While these activities are the basis for requesting funds, the commander on the ground and the Chief of Mission are seeking flexibility to respond to conditions as they change. For example, if police units can be trained more rapidly or conditions indicate a type 

of capability is necessary, the Administration wants to be positioned to transfer funds to meet those needs quickly and effectively.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. ll. Upon his determination that such action is necessary 

in the national interest, the Secretary of Defense may transfer between appropriations up to $5,000,000,000 of the funds made available to the Department of Defense in this Act: Provided, That the 

Secretary shall notify the Congress promptly of each transfer made 

pursuant to this authority: Provided further, That the transfer authority provided in this section is in addition to any other transfer 

authority available to the Department of Defense: Provided further, 

That the authority in this section is subject to the same terms and 

conditions as the authority provided in section 8005 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005, except for the fourth proviso. 

This proposed section would provide the Department with needed 

flexibility by allowing up to $5 billion of the funds appropriated in 

this Act to be transferred between accounts. The Secretary of Defense will notify the Congress promptly of all such transfers, and 

this transfer authority will be in addition to any other transfer authority provided the Department. 

25 

SEC. ll. Section 8005 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108–287; 118 Stat. 969), is amended by 

striking ‘‘$3,500,000,000’’ and inserting in lieu thereof ‘‘$6,000,000,000’’. This proposed section would provide the Department with needed 

flexibility by allowing up to $6 billion of the funds appropriated to 

the Department to be transferred between accounts. The additional 

authority would give the Secretary the necessary flexibility to accommodate changing circumstances as the War on Terror is prosecuted. The Department must have the ability to respond in a 

timely manner to urgent requirements in support of deployed 

forces, such as force protection, and support to Homeland Defense 

under Operation Noble Eagle. 

SEC. ll. During fiscal year 2005, the Secretary of Defense may 

transfer amounts in or credited to the Defense Cooperation Account, 

pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2608, to such appropriations or funds of the 

Department of Defense as he shall determine for use consistent with 

the purposes for which such funds were contributed and accepted: 

Provided, That such amounts shall be available for the same time 

period as the appropriation to which transferred: Provided further, 

That the Secretary shall report to the Congress all transfers made 

pursuant to this authority. 

Pursuant to the statute establishing the Defense Cooperation Account (10 U.S.C. 2608), funds in the Defense Cooperation Account 

may be obligated or expended only to the extent and in the manner 

provided in subsequent appropriations Acts. This proposal would 

provide the necessary appropriation for the remainder of this fiscal 

year. 

SEC. ll. (a) AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE SUPPORT.—Of the amount 

appropriated under the heading, ‘‘Drug Interdiction and CounterDrug Activities, Defense,’’ in this Act, not to exceed $45,000,000 

shall be available for the provision of support for counter-drug activities of the Governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, 

Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan: Provided, That such support shall 

be in addition to support provided for the counter-drug activities of 

such Governments under any other provision of law. (b) TYPES OF SUPPORT.—The support that may be provided using 

this section shall be limited to the types of support specified in section 1033(c)(1) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 1998 (Pub. L. 105–85, as amended by Pub. L. 106–398 and 

Pub. L. 108–136). 

(1) In addition, the Secretary of Defense may transfer vehicles, 

aircraft, individual weapons, detection, interception, monitoring 

and testing equipment to these Governments for counter-drug activities. Foreign made equipment may be transferred when the use of 

United States equipment would be inconsistent with local practice, 

unsustainable, or would be impracticable to maintain. 

(2) The Secretary of Defense also may provide sustainment, including ammunition, for counter-drug security forces. (c) CONDITIONS ON PROVISION OF SUPPORT.—(1) No funds appropriated in this Act may be obligated to provide support under this 

section until the end of the 15-day period beginning on the date on 

which the Secretary submits the written certification for fiscal year 

2005 pursuant to section 1033(f) (1) of the National Defense AuthorVerDate Aug 04 2004 04:36 Feb 19, 2005 Jkt 039012 PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6603 E:\HR\OC\HD009.000 HD009
26 

ization Act for Fiscal Year 1998, as amended. (2) The elements of 

the written certification submitted for fiscal year 2005 described in 

section 1033(g) of that Act shall apply to, and the written certification shall address, the support provided under this section for 

counter-drug activities of the Governments of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. 

This section is necessary to enable the Department of Defense to 

increase critical types of its assistance to the counternarcotics 

forces of the governments of Afghanistan and neighboring friendly 

countries. 

The authority granted by section 1033 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998, as amended, has proven to 

be of great value in assisting the counter-drug efforts of our partners. Congress has recognized this and granted past requests to 

make greater use of this authority by approving extensions of its 

duration and increasing the authorized number of recipient nations 

including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and 

Uzbekistan. To make the best use of this authority, without undermining our important efforts in Colombia, this provision seeks an 

increase in the yearly authorized funding caps and the ability to 

provide a broader array of equipment, as well as sustainment, to 

allied counternarcotics forces. In the absence of higher authorized 

spending levels for this authority, the Department would be forced 

to make trade-offs that would come at the expense of vital efforts 

in either South America or Central Asia. 

Improving their counter-drug capabilities of our regional partners will allow the United States and its regional partners to more 

effectively stem the tide of drug trafficking in Central Asia. Curtailing the Afghan drug trade will help to dry up one source of 

funding for terrorist elements in the region, as well as limit the resources available to others who would challenge the authority of 

the legitimately elected government in Kabul. 

SEC. ll. Under the heading, ‘‘Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide,’’ in title II of the Department of Defense Appropriations 

Act, 2005 (Public Law 108–287), strike ‘‘$32,000,000’’ and insert ‘‘$57,000,000’’. This section would provide the Secretary of Defense with additional authority for extraordinary and emergency expenses, which 

cannot be anticipated, in order to support emergent requirements 

associated with Iraq and the War on Terror. 

SEC. ll. Notwithstanding section 2208(l) of title 10, United 

States Code, during the current fiscal year working capital funds of 

the Department of Defense may utilize advance billing in a total 

amount not to exceed $4,000,000,000. 

This provision would increase the limitation on advance billing 

of working capital fund customers from $1 billion to $4 billion in 

FY 2005. The limitation was imposed in peacetime (FY 1999). To 

avoid Anti-Deficiency Act violations, agencies may be forced to 

delay reordering sufficient supplies to maintain inventory levels 

needed for the war effort. To prevent that, an increase in the advance billing limitation to $4 billion is requested. 

DWCFs are designed to be flexible and responsive to customer 

demands within a business-like structure. The Funds have surged 

in response to the Global War on Terror and, in total, are operating 

27 

at levels 25 percent greater than their peacetime business base. In 

dollar terms, DWCFs are operating $22 billion above their $81 billion peacetime base. For certain of the funds, business has grown 

70 to 90 percent above the peacetime level. The size of these variations, the requirement to provide logistics support during war, 

and the financial volatility involved dictate a larger limitation for 

financial flexibility in managing these funds. 

SEC. ll. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, appropriations that are available in the current fiscal year to the Department of Defense for operation and maintenance may be used to purchase and dispose of weapons from any person, foreign government, 

international organization or other entity, for the purpose of protecting U.S. forces overseas. 

This provision would allow DoD to use operation and maintenance appropriations to purchase and dispose of weapons from any 

person, foreign government, international organization or other entity, for the purpose of protecting U.S. forces overseas. 

While the Department has, in the past, invoked its ‘‘emergency and extraordinary expense (EEE)’’ authority under title 10, U.S. 

Code, section 127 to buy weapons from local populations, expanding this authority to the Operation and Maintenance, Defense Wide 

account provides greater flexibility and ensures that EEE is available for unanticipated requirements. 

This authority has been used successfully to purchase weapons 

from local populations in Panama, Somalia, and Haiti. The Department intends to apply the success of these ‘‘buy back’’ programs to 

deplete the weapons caches in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in 

the War on Terror to protect U.S. forces operating in those regions. 

SEC. ll. Section 1201(a) of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 (Pub. L. 108–375), as 

amended by section 102, title I, division J, Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (Pub. L. 108–447), is further amended by striking 

‘‘$500,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$854,000,000’’. The Commander’s Emergency Response Program (CERP) enhances the capability of the military commanders to combat terrorism and to support U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The program provides results that people can see. Examples 

of projects include water and sanitation, electricity, and health 

care. 

CERP was first provided appropriated funds and included Afghanistan under section 1110 of Public Law 108–106. 

CERP has proven to be a high-impact, relatively low-cost program indispensable to security and stabilization efforts in Iraq and 

Afghanistan. Providing a source of cash, it enables military commanders—who are often the only U.S. government officials in daily 

contact with communities about local needs—to respond immediately to small-scale but urgent humanitarian relief and reconstruction requirements. The program builds trust and support at 

the grassroots level. 

SEC. ll. (a) During fiscal year 2005 and notwithstanding section 5547 of title 5, United States Code, the head of an Executive 

agency may waive the limitation, up to $200,000, established in that 

section for total compensation, including limitations on the aggregate of basic pay and premium pay payable in a calendar year, to 

28 

an employee who performs work while in an overseas location that 

is in the area of responsibility of the Commander of the U.S. Central Command, in support of, or related to—

(1) a military operation, including a contingency operation, or 

(2) an operation in response to a declared emergency. 

(b) To the extent that a waiver under subsection (a) results in payment of additional premium pay of a type that is normally creditable as basic pay for retirement or any other purpose, such additional pay shall not be considered to be basic pay for any purpose, 

nor shall it be used in computing a lump-sum payment for accumulated and accrued annual leave under section 5551 of title 5, United 

States Code. 

(c) The Director of the Office of Personnel Management may issue 

regulations to ensure appropriate consistency among heads of executive agencies in the exercise of authority granted by this section. 

This provision would authorize the Heads of Executive Agencies 

to waive the annual limitation on total compensation established in 

sections 5547 of title 5, United States Code, up to $200,000, for certain Federal civilian employees. These employees must perform 

while in an overseas location that is in the area of responsibility 

of the Commander of the U.S. Central Command, in support of, or 

related to a military operation, including a contingency operation 

or an operation in response to a declared emergency. Currently 

such employees are subject to these limitations. The provision 

would also exclude the additional premium payments resulting 

from this waiver being creditable for retirement or any other purpose. This waiver authority expires on September 30, 2005. 

The annual limitation in section 5547(b)(2) restricts the amount 

of basic and premium pay that a civilian employee may earn in a 

calendar year to no more than the maximum rate of pay for a GS–

15 (for the employee’s permanent duty station; the rates range 

from $113,674 for outside the continental United States to 

$141,194 for San Francisco), or Level V ($128,200) of the Executive 

Schedule (whichever is higher). Premium pay includes payment for 

overtime, work on Sundays or holidays, night work, and exposure 

to physical hardships or hazards. Compensatory time for overtime 

worked is also subject to the limitation. 

The annual limitation on premium pay is particularly significant 

in limiting the Government’s flexibility to appropriately compensate employees assigned overseas to combat zones and on contingency or emergency response operations in the area of responsibility of the Commander of U.S. Central Command. Such employees routinely work extended overtime hours and often reach the 

annual limitation on premium pay before their overseas tour or operation assignment ends. Once employees have reached the annual 

limitation on premium pay, they can be required to work additional 

overtime hours, but they cannot be paid for those hours. This situation represents an inequity that has an adverse affect on morale 

for those working in these highly challenging circumstances. 

The number of DOD employees who would exceed the cap annually is estimated at 500 (covered employees based on Army estimates and data related to civilian employees currently deployed to 

Iraq), resulting in an annual cost (FY 2004 dollars) of $3.1 million.

SEC. ll. Section 1096(b) of the Intelligence Reform and Ter- rorism Prevention Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108–458), is amended— (a) by striking ‘‘in the fiscal year after the effective date of this 

Act’’ and inserting in lieu thereof ‘‘in the fiscal years 2005 and 

2006’’; and 

(b) in paragraph (1) by striking ‘‘500 new personnel billets’’ and inserting in lieu thereof ‘‘the total of 500 new personnel positions’’. This proposed section would give the Director of National Intel- ligence (DNI) additional flexibility with respect to the timing and 

pace of filling the additional positions authorized for the Office of 

the DNI (ODNI). The expected pace for establishing and initiating 

the activities of the ODNI requires that the DNI, beginning in FY 

2005 and continuing through FY 2006, be able to fill the additional 

positions authorized by this section. This section will enable the 

DNI to staff his or her Office without waiting until FY 2006 while 

minimizing disruption in the workforces of the other intelligence 

community elements. 

SEC. ll. Section 1051a(e) of title 10, United States Code, is 

amended by striking ‘‘September 30, 2005’’, and inserting ‘‘September 30, 2006’’. 

This proposed section would extend the authority contained in 

the 2003 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and codified 

at 10 United States Code 1051a, to support coalition liaison officers 

to September 30, 2006. The current authority expires September 

30, 2005. If the FY 2006 NDAA is not enacted by September 30, 

2005, U.S. Central Command will have a lapse in that authority, 

and will be unable to continue to furnish much of the support currently provided. The Department is requesting an extension of the 

authority in its FY 2006 legislative package. 

SEC. ll. Notwithstanding section 308e (c) of title 37, United 

States Code, during the current fiscal year, the amount and method 

of payment of a bonus to be paid under subsection (a) shall be determined in accordance with regulations prescribed under subsection 

(f), except that the amount of such bonus may not exceed $10,000. 

Under section 308e(a), the Secretary concerned may pay a bonus 

for reserve affiliation to any person who is serving on active duty, 

has 180 days or less remaining of his active duty obligation, and 

upon discharge or release from active duty upon the completion of 

such active duty obligation will have a reserve service obligation; 

or has served on active duty for any period of time, was discharged 

or released from active duty under honorable conditions, and is 

serving a period of reserve service obligation. 

This proposal would increase the maximum amount of the reserve affiliation bonus (currently authorized for $50 per month of 

reserve obligation) and eliminate the current formula for computing the maximum amount. The bonus would be determined 

under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense or the 

Secretary of Homeland Security for the Coast Guard. To be eligible, 

a person must continue to meet the criteria specified in subsection 

(b) of section 308e. The bonus would not exceed $10,000. This proposal would also change the method of payment of the bonus to 

provide the Secretary of a Military Department with the authority 

and flexibility to determine the method of paying the bonus. The 

30 

bonus could be paid in a lump sum payment, in two or more payments, or in monthly installments. 

SEC. ll. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, from 

funds made available in Operation and Maintenance, Defensewide 

in this Act, not to exceed $99,000,000 may be used to provide assistance to the Government of Jordan to establish a regional training 

center designed to provide comprehensive training programs for regional military and security forces and military and civilian officials, to enhance the capability of such forces and officials to respond to existing and emerging security threats in the region: Provided, That such assistance may include the provision of facilities, 

equipment, supplies, services, training and funding: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may transfer funds to any Federal agency for the purpose of providing such assistance. 

This provision would allow the Department of Defense to provide 

funding for the establishment of a regional training center in Jordan. The center will provide counter-terrorism, special operations, 

border control, civil defense, emergency/first responder and other 

training and preparation for regional security forces. The U.S. Government would provide funding to construct and outfit the training 

center; it would subsequently be owned and operated by the Government of Jordan. 

SEC. ll. (a) Section 1967 of title 38, United States Code, is 

amended—

(1) in subsection (a)(3)(A), by striking clause (i) and inserting 

the following new clause: 

‘‘(i) In the case of a member—

‘‘(I) $400,000 or such lesser amount as the member 

may elect in increments of $50,000.’’; 

(2) in subsection (a)(3)(B), by striking the word ‘‘or’’ in the 

last sentence and inserting in lieu thereof the words, ‘‘be evenly 

divisible by $50,000, and in the case of a’’; and 

(3) in subsection (d), by striking ‘‘$250,000’’ and inserting 

‘‘$400,000’’. 

(b) Section 1967(a)(3)(B) of title 38, United States Code, is amended by: 

(1) inserting ‘‘(i)’’ after ‘‘(B)’’: and 

(2) inserting at the end thereof the following new paragraph: 

‘‘(ii) Whenever a member elects to reduce or decline the 

amount of insurance applicable to such member as provided by this section, the Secretary concerned shall provide 

a notice of such reduction or declination to the member’s 

spouse, or if there is no spouse, to that person designated 

by the member as beneficiary(ies) or designated as the 

member’s next-of-kin for the purpose of emergency notification as determined under regulations promulgated by the 

Secretary of Defense. A married member may not, without 

the spouse’s written concurrence, elect to reduce or decline 

the amount of insurance provided under section 

1967(a)(3)(A)(i)(I) or designate any other person as a beneficiary under this program. The election of a member who 

is not married is not subject to the concurrence or objection 

of any other party, notwithstanding the notification of such 

31 

person as provided for herein, as such notification is provided only as a courtesy to improve awareness of benefits.’’. (c) Section 1967 of such title is further amended by adding the following before the period at the end of subsection (a)(3)(C): ‘‘as applicable to such member under subsection (a)(3)(A)(i)(I)’’. (d) Section 1977 of such title is amended by striking ‘‘$250,000’’ each place it appears and inserting ‘‘$400,000’’ in lieu thereof. 

(e) Section 1478 of title 10, United States Code is amended by 

adding at the end the following new subsection: ‘‘(d) The death gratuity payable shall be $100,000 (in lieu of the amount provided pursuant to subsection (a), as adjusted under subsection (c)), if the death occurred as a direct result of injuries or illness incurred during an operation, area, or circumstance designated 

for such increase under this section as prescribed in regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Defense.’’. (f) Effective date: The Secretary of Defense shall take all actions 

necessary to implement these provisions as soon as practicable. 

These amendments to titles 38 and 10, United States Code would 

enhance the immediate cash payments available to the survivors of 

service members killed while serving our country. This is accomplished by increasing the service members Group Life Insurance 

(SGLI) coverage to $400,000 and for deaths occurring in designated 

areas, operations, or circumstances it increases the death gratuity 

to $100,000. 

Section (a) would increase the member’s automatic SGLI maximum to $400,000. 

Section (b) would ensure that the SGLI cash payment is available to the surviving spouse, by requiring the consent of a spouse 

(or the notification of other next-of-kin if there is no spouse) if a 

member reduces or declines the automatic level of insurance. 

Section (c) would limit the coverage for a spouse to be no more 

than the amount elected by the member. Section (d) updates the Veterans Group Life Insurance (VGLI) 

policies to reflect the higher maximum coverage for SGLI. 

Section (e) would increase the current $12,420 death gratuity for 

deaths on active duty to $100,000 if the death occurs in a designated area, operation, or circumstance as specified by the Secretary of Defense. 

SEC. ll. (a) A one-time death gratuity increase of $150,000 shall be paid to a beneficiary(ies) in proportion to the share of benefits applicable to such beneficiary(ies) in the payment of insurance 

proceeds paid under the provisions of subchapter III of chapter 19 

of title 38, United States Code, on the basis of the death of a member who died on or after October 7, 2001, but prior to the date of 

implementation pursuant to subsection (b), and as a direct result of 

injuries or illness incurred in Operation Enduring Freedom or Iraqi 

Freedom, as determined under regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Defense. In the case of a member who declined to be insured under such provisions, this benefit shall be divided and paid 

in equal shares to the person or persons who would have received 

proceeds under the provisions of law for a member who does not 

designate named beneficiaries but who is insured. In the case of 

such a qualified death, an additional one-time increase in the death 

gratuity of $88,000 shall be divided and paid in equal shares to the 

32 

beneficiary(ies) paid the death gratuity under subchapter II of chapter 75 of title 10, United States Code. 

(b) Effective date: The Secretary of Defense shall take all actions 

necessary to implement this provision as soon as practicable. 

This section recognizes the sacrifices made by our members who 

have been killed in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation 

Iraqi Freedom to their country since the beginning of combat operations on October 7, 2001 by making their survivors eligible for the 

same enhanced benefits that will be afforded future members. 

Section (a) would provide for a one-time death gratuity that 

would have two components. The first component would be a lump 

sum payment of $150,000 to replicate the increased SGLI coverage 

that we will be offering future service members. The second component is an added $88,000, which will serve as a one-time increase 

to the death gratuity payment proved for in chapter 75 of title 10. 

Section (b) provides for the effective date of this section.

GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR PARTNERS FUND

For necessary expenses to carry out the purposes of the Foreign 

Assistance Act of 1961 for responding to urgent economic support requirements in countries supporting the United States in the Global

For an additional amount for ‘‘Acquisition, Construction and Improvements,’’ $49,200,000, to remain available until September 30, 

2007. 

This request would provide $49.2 million to fund major refit, renovation, and subsystem replacement for U.S. Coast Guard 110-foot 

Patrol Boats. These ships, of which six are deployed in support of 

Operation Iraqi Freedom, operate at a much higher tempo than 

planned for domestic activities, and therefore require extensive system overhauls upon return from combat theaters to restore them 

to pre-deployment conditions. This funding will help ensure that 

the condition to the Coast Guard’s 110-foot Patrol Boat fleet is not 

degraded by deployments in support of the Department of Defense.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

For an additional amount for ‘‘Salaries and Expenses,’’

This request would provide $80.0 million for the Federal Bureau 

of Investigation (FBI), of which $40.0 million will be used for expansion of the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC). In 2005, TSC will 

lease and initiate the renovation of a facility to provide the necessary infrastructure to support its expanding requirements, including implementation of the Secure Flight program. 

The remaining $40.0 million would be used to continue supporting FBI personnel deployed to Iraq, including $12.7 million for 

weapons, ammunition, equipment, and outfitting; $7.0 million for 

agent/support overtime and hazardous duty pay; and $20.3 million 

for airlift requirements of FBI personnel and equipment.

This request would provide $7.6 million in non-personnel funding to support the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA’s) involvement in the U.S. Embassy Kabul’s Counternarcotics Implementation Plan for Afghanistan. The goal of the Counternarcotics Implementation Plan is to reduce poppy and heroin production in Afghanistan and contribute to the stabilization and rebuilding of the 

country. These resources will be used to support and equip DEA’s 

Foreign Advisory Support Teams and to provide operational support for a 100-member Counter Narcotics Police—Afghanistan Nar- cotics Interdiction Unit.

to address relief and rehabilitation needs for countries affected by 

the Indian Ocean tsunami, prior to the enactment of this Act, shall 

be in addition to the amount that may be obligated in fiscal year 

2005 under that section. 

This provision would specify that funds made available, with disaster assistance authorities, in foreign assistance accounts other 

than the International Disaster and Famine Assistance account to 

address relief and rehabilitation needs in countries affected by the 

Indian Ocean tsunami under the ‘‘borrowing authority’’ provision in 

47 

section 492(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act, do not count against
