THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, July 22, 2005. 

Hon. J. DENNIS HASTERT, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

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

FY 2006 budget amendments for the Department of Homeland Security. These proposals support the Department’s organizational restructuring plan, which Secretary Chertoff transmitted to the Congress on July 13. Overall, the discretionary budget authority proposed in my FY 2006 Budget would not be increased by this reorganization proposal. 

The details of these proposals are set forth in the enclosed letter 

from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Sincerely, 

GEORGE W. BUSH.

[Estimate No. 10, 109th Cong., 1st Sess.] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, July 21, 2005. 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration are FY 2006 budget amendments for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff transmitted an organizational restructuring plan to the Congress on July 13, 2005. 

This reconfiguration of the Department involves the areas of preparedness, policy, intelligence and operations. These budget 

amendments align your FY 2006 Budget request with the reorganized structure of DHS. The discretionary budget authority proposed in your FY 2006 Budget would not be increased by this proposal. 

As described below and in more detail in the enclosures, the requests include the following: 

Preparedness Directorate 

• Language is proposed to move several accounts into a new Preparedness Directorate in order to unify and promote a terrorism 

and risk-based focus for the Department’s preparedness functions. 

The Infrastructure Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Directorate will be reorganized into the Preparedness Directorate, and 

resources focused on Preparedness Operations will be consolidated. 

• Additional accounts moving into the new Preparedness Directorate include State and Local Grants and Training Programs, 

Firefighter Assistance Grants, the U.S. Fire Administration, and 

Biodefense Countermeasures programs. 

Policy Coordination Office 

• Language is proposed to move additional resources to the Policy Office, which will oversee and coordinate policy development for 

the Department. This proposal consolidates policy resources from 

several bureaus across DHS. A separate legislative proposal has 

been transmitted that would elevate the Policy Office to a Policy 

Directorate. 

Intelligence Analysis and Operations 

• Language is proposed to establish an Analysis and Operations 

bureau as part of the reorganization of the Infrastructure Analysis 

and Infrastructure Protection Directorate. Resources focused on infrastructure analysis are consolidated within the new Analysis and 

Operations bureau. 

4 

Recommendation 

I have reviewed these proposals and am satisfied that they are 

necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the Secretary of Homeland 

Security in recommending that you transmit the proposals to the 

Congress. 

Sincerely, 

JOSHUA B. BOLTEN, 

Director.

FY 2006 Pending Request: —

Proposed Amendment: Language 

Revised Request: —

(In the general provisions appropriations language, add the following new section after Section 518: 

Sec. 519. In transferring or assigning responsibilities or functions 

in accordance with the reorganization proposal, transmitted to the 

Congress on July 13, 2005, the Secretary of Homeland Security is 

authorized to transfer such records, personnel, assets, and balances 

as he deems necessary to accomplish the transfer or assignment. 

Any such transfers or assignments shall comply with section 1531 

of title 31, United States Code.) 

This proposal would allow the DHS to administratively realign 

the personnel, assets, and balances of components at the start of 

the upcoming fiscal year. This technical adjustment will greatly 

simplify the budgetary and accounting impacts of the proposed reorganization.
