THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, November 6, 2007. 

Hon. NANCY PELOSI, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MADAM SPEAKER: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed amendments to my FY 2008 requests for the Departments 

of Homeland Security and Justice. These amendments, when combined with funding enacted earlier this year for the FBI (Public 

Law 110–28), would provide $436 million to take important steps 

to enhance ongoing efforts for protecting the homeland. The 

amendments will enhance the security of the Government’s civilian 

cyber networks and will further address emerging threats. 

Overall, the discretionary budget authority proposed in my FY 

2008 Budget would not be increased. The details of these amendments proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Sincerely, 

GEORGE W. BUSH. 

[Estimate No. 7, 110th Cong., 1st Sess.] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, November 5, 2007. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration are amendments to my FY 

2008 Budget requests for the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ). These amendments are 

necessary to enhance Federal civilian agency cybersecurity and 

strengthen defenses to combat terrorism. 

Of the $436 million total, $386 million would be fully offset by 

reductions in previously requested funding and cancellation of unobligated balances; and $50 million is available from funds appropriated in the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act of 2007. The 

$436 million would be allocated in the following manner: 

DOJ

Cyber 

• $39 million to assist FBI’s investigation of incursions into the 

Government’s cyber networks, increase relevant intelligence analysis, and provide the necessary technical tools that support both investigations and analysis. 


ebenthall on PROD1PC69 with HEARING
II

Combatting terrorism 

• $105 million to support FBI’s surveillance activities, intelligence analysis, investigations, and liaison and training. 

• $2 million for the Drug Enforcement Administration for a communication intercept initiative. 

DHS

Cyber 

• $115 million for cybersecurity initiatives to enhance Federal civilian detection capabilities, including accelerated deployment of 

monitoring capabilities and increased analytical operations at 

United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US–CERT) 

to support civilian agencies. 

Combatting terrorism 

• $175 million to counter threats in the aviation environment by 

increasing canine and Visible Intermodal Protection Response 

Teams to patrol airports, expanding the number of Behavior Detection Officers, ramping up random screening of airport workers in 

the secure areas of airports, adding Federal Air Marshals to enhance airline security, and speeding the deployment of Secure 

Flight. • I have carefully reviewed these amendments and am satisfied 

that they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the Secretary 

of Homeland Security and the Acting Attorney General in recommending you transmit these amendments to the Congress. 

Sincerely, 

JIM NUSSLE, Director.

FY 2008 Pending Request: $4,953,159,000 

Proposed Amendment: $104,000,000 

Revised Request: $5,057,159,000 

This proposal would increase the pending request by $104 million to enhance aviation security. Specifically, this request would 

allow the Aviation Direct Access Screening Program to increase 

random screening of airport workers in the secure areas of airports; 

increase the number of Behavior Detection Officers to screen travelers for observable behaviors that may indicate that the individual 

may be at risk to the airport or aircraft; and increase the number 

of canine teams, which provide a highly mobile and effective resource that can be readily deployed against a specific threat. This 

request also includes a $20 million increase for the deployment of 

Visible Intermodal Protection Response Teams in all modes of 

transportation, which provide an increased deterrent effect through 

random, unpredictable show of force techniques. Furthermore, the 

request would establish vetting capabilities for general aviation 

passengers and crew, and conduct general aviation threat assessments. 

Taken together with the other proposals in this transmittal, the 

budget authority requested in the FY 2008 Budget would not be affected.

the program is fully implemented in FY 2010. 

Taken together with the other proposals in this transmittal, the 

budget authority requested in the FY 2008 Budget would not be affected.

CRIME VICTIMS FUND

FY 2008 Budget Appendix Page: 675 

FY 2008 Pending Request: $625,000,000 

FY 2008 Discretionary Offset: $1,338,000,000 

Proposed Discretionary Offset: $219,539,000 

Revised FY 2008 Discretionary Offset: $1,557,539,000 

(Delete the appropriations language under the above heading and 

insert the following:) 

Of the amounts deposited or available in the Crime Victims Fund, 

$1,557,539,000 is hereby permanently cancelled and transferred to 

miscellaneous receipts at the Treasury: Provided, That to the extent 

that amounts remaining in the Fund after such cancellation exceed 

$625,000,000, no obligations may be incurred in excess of 

$625,000,000. 

Amounts deposited into the Crime Victims Fund during FY 2007 

exceed the amounts estimated in the FY 2008 Budget. As a result, 

this amendment would not adversely affect the appropriation for 

the Crime Victims Fund. However, nearly $1.6 billion in collections 

and prior year balances would be cancelled. The amount is approximately $220 million above the amount proposed for permanent cancellation in the President’s FY 2008 Budget. 

The permanent cancellation of these funds will offset funding increases proposed in the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to address emerging terrorism and cyber threats.
