THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, October 22, 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 Budget request that will provide additional resources for ongoing military and intelligence operations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring 

Freedom, and selected other international activities. These funds 

will support U.S. efforts to improve stability in these regions. This 

request is also consistent with the assessments provided by General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker last month and 

my Iraq Benchmark Assessment Report, as it contains funds to 

maintain the current pace of operations into FY 2008 and takes 

into account plans to redeploy five Army brigades by next summer, 

should conditions on the ground permit. 

This request includes funds to improve the protection of our 

forces by procuring additional Mine Resistant Ambush Protected 

vehicles, which have proved highly effective in countering improvised explosive devices. It also supports pre-deployment training 

for ground forces; supports the repair, replacement, or supplement 

of equipment worn out or lost in military operations; upgrades 

equipment based on lessons learned to date; replenishes depleted 

prepositioned stocks; and fills shortages in non-deployed units 

caused by the creation of equipment pools in theater. 

In addition, it helps support our military and their families by 

funding a range of needed services. For example, the request funds 

the development of a sustainable medical and rehabilitation system 

to properly care for our wounded warriors. The request also funds 

enhanced support for servicemembers and their families to mitigate 

the effect of repeated and continued deployments of the all-volunteer force. 

These amendments include funding for urgent and unanticipated 

international programs, including support for extraordinary security and operating costs associated with U.S. diplomatic activity in 

Iraq and Afghanistan, for assistance to internally displaced persons 

in Iraq and Iraqi refugees, and to help create political and economic stability in Afghanistan. 

I hereby designate the specific proposals in the amounts requested herein as emergency requirements. This request represents 

urgent and essential requirements and I encourage you to take up 

this FY 2008 funding as soon as possible. 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.

[Estimate No. 6, 110th Cong., 1st Sess.] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, October 19, 2007. 

The PRESIDENT, The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration are amendments to the FY 

2008 Global War on Terror (GWOT) request to fund ongoing military, diplomatic, and intelligence operations; stabilization and 

counter-insurgency activities in Iraq and Afghanistan; and other 

humanitarian assistance. This request reflects changes in U.S. operations related to GWOT since your Budget was transmitted in 

February, as well as additions for newly identified requirements 

that are responsive to changing conditions on the ground. This request is consistent with the assessments provided by General 

David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker last month. 

These revisions total $45.9 billion, and are in addition to the 

$150.5 billion you already requested. Of the additional amounts 

now requested, $42.3 billion is for the Department of Defense, including $0.8 billion for classified programs in support of GWOT, 

and $3.6 billion is for international functions. The major categories 

of funding are highlighted below. 

Military and Intelligence Operations 

• $7.3 billion to fund combat operations in support of Operation 

Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) during FY 2008. Of this amount, $6.3 billion is to maintain current 

troop levels, allowing for redeployments to begin in December, with 

five Brigade Combat Teams redeployed by July 2008. • $6.4 billion to enhance pre-deployment training for ground 

forces, including increases for equipment for next-to-deploy forces. • $1.0 billion to expand the size of the Iraqi Security Forces and 

improve their ability to conduct counterinsurgency operations independent of U.S. assistance. • $0.2 billion is requested for the Commander’s Emergency Response Program in Afghanistan to enable commanders to address 

urgent needs of local populations and gain their support in the 

fight against insurgents. A major component of these funds will be 

building local secondary roads. 

• $0.5 billion to develop a sustainable medical and rehabilitation 

system to properly care for our Wounded Warriors returning from 

OIF and OEF. 

• $0.8 billion to enhance support for servicemembers and their 

families impacted by repeated and continued deployments of the 

all-volunteer Force. 

• $0.8 billion for classified activities. 

• $0.8 billion to address increased fuel costs. 


ccoleman on PROD1PC69 with HEARING

Equipment, Force Structure, and Facilities Improvements 

• $11.0 billion for the production, fielding, support and continued 

advancements of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles, which are a critical priority joint-Service program to counter 

significant in-theater force protection threats especially from improvised explosive devices. This would fund 7,274 MRAPs for a 

total of 15,274 produced by the end of FY 2008. • $8.8 billion to replace equipment that is worn out or damaged, 

to upgrade equipment based on wartime lessons learned, to replenish depleted prepositioned stocks, and to fill shortages in non-deployed units caused by the creation of equipment pools in theater. • $3.1 billion to provide additional armor and other capabilities 

to counter the continued threat from Improvised Explosive Devices 

and snipers. • $1.4 billion to build airfields, roads, and other mission critical 

facilities to ensure survivability of the troops and support mission 

capabilities. Of this total, $0.4 billion is requested to expedite efforts to transition services out of the Walter Reed Army Medical 

Center, Washington, DC, into new state-of-the-art facilities. 

International Affairs and Stabilization Activities 

The request seeks $3.6 billion for urgent and unanticipated international affairs programs, including the following: • Global War on Terror and the Middle East. $561 million is included for the additional extraordinary security and operating costs 

associated with supporting U.S. diplomatic activity in Iraq and Afghanistan; up to $240 million is for assistance to Iraqis who have 

been displaced from their homes; $25 million to initiate a new enterprise fund or similar private sector investment program that 

will help Iraqi-owned firms access the capital that they need to create jobs; and an additional $500 million is provided for assistance 

to help create political and economic stability in Afghanistan. The 

request also provides: $375 million for the West Bank to help the 

Palestinian Authority resolve its fiscal crisis and enhance their security capabilities; and $60 million to support the Administration’s 

commitment to fund Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal 

Areas Sustainable Development plan. • Peacekeeping and Security and Economic Assistance. $724 million is for the UN peacekeeping mission in Darfur; $70 million is 

provided to support elections in Southern Sudan; $106 million is included to support commitments for energy and economic assistance 

to North Korea as called for in the Six Party talks. The request 

also provides $500 million for Mexico and $50 million for Central 

American states, to support their unprecedented efforts to combat 

transnational crime and drug trafficking. 

• Humanitarian Assistance. In addition to funding for Iraq, $350 

million is provided for emergency food aid needs and disaster assistance mainly in Africa and $35 million is provided to assist Palestinian refugees. 

Recommendation 

These amendments fulfill known and urgent requirements that 

cannot reasonably be met within the request submitted with your 

amended FY 2008 Budget. Consistent with the original and subseVerDate Aug 31 2005 07:23 Oct 24, 2007 Jkt 069012 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HD068.XXX HD068

training will increase unit readiness, reduce post mobilization 

training, and maximize the time that mobilized soldiers spend in 

theater. This training strategy is a direct result of the new Reserve 

Component utilization policy signed by the Secretary of Defense on 

January 19, 2007. Shifting to a 12-month mobilization time allows 

Army Reserve soldiers to have more time with employers and families since they do more training at home station instead of at a mobilization station.

following new paragraph:) 

(3) not to exceed $100,000,000, to remain available until expended, may be used, notwithstanding any other provision of law, 

for the purpose of providing specialized training and procuring supplies and specialized equipment and providing such supplies and 

loaning such equipment on a non-reimbursable basis to coalition 

forces supporting United States military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan: Provided, That the Secretary of Defense shall provide 

quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees regarding 

support provided under this section. 

This amendment would increase the pending request by $275.8 

million to fund increased requirements for information systems, 

Special Operations Forces, and classified programs for the Global 

War on Terror. This request would also fund increased fuel costs. 

In addition, the proposed language would authorize the Department of Defense to use up to $100 million of Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide funds to provide specialized training, supplies 

and equipment to coalition forces that could not deploy to or conduct their missions in Iraq and Afghanistan without such support. 

This authority will allow specialized pre-deployment training to 

ensure coalition forces are adequately prepared for deployment. 

Use of this authority to purchase equipment for deployments will 

allow the U.S. Government to retain ownership of such equipment 

and to rotate the equipment to follow-on replacements of coalition 

forces (except for those personal clothing items or other supplies 

non normally re-issued to follow-on rotations), thus achieving a cost 

savings. Furthermore, the Department of Defense can ensure that 

coalition forces have current and interoperable equipment, especially counter-improvised explosive device equipment, thus potentially reducing casualties for both coalition and U.S. forces.

(In the appropriation language under the above heading, insert 

the following new sections:) 

Sec. ll. Funds appropriated under this or any prior Act under 

the heading, ‘‘Economic Support Fund,’’ may be used for assistance 

to the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea to support the goals of 

the Six Party Talks, notwithstanding any other provision of law. 

Sec. ll. Funds appropriated by this or any prior Act under the 

headings, ‘‘Economic Support Fund,’’ ‘‘Peacekeeping Operations,’’ or 

‘‘International Military Education and Training’’, may be used for 

assistance to Sudan for the purposes of promoting democracy, conflict management, and stabilization programs, and training and 

equipping the Southern Sudanese military, notwithstanding any 

other provision of law. 

Sec. ll. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of State is authorized to establish the Iraq Enterprise Fund, 

the purpose of which is to promote development of the Iraqi private 

sector and to promote policies and practices conducive to private 

sector development in Iraq: Provided, That not to exceed 

$25,000,000 under the heading, ‘‘Economic Support Fund’’ provided 

in this Act, and such sums as necessary from balances remaining 

under this heading and under the heading ‘‘Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund’’ in prior Acts, may be used to operate the Fund: Provided further, That provisions contained in section 201 of the Support for East European Democracy Act of 1989 (excluding subsection 

(b) of that section) shall be deemed to apply to the Fund, and to 

funds made available to such entity, to enable it to provide assistance for purposes of this section: Provided further, That in addition 

to the requirements of subsection (d)(3)(A) of such Act, a limited

number of non-host country foreign Directors may be appointed to 

the Board under that subsection. 

Notwithstanding authority is required to provide the heavy fuel 

oil or an equivalent value of energy or economic assistance to North 

Korea on an ‘‘action-for-action’’ basis in support of the Six Party 

Talks in return for actions taken by North Korea on 

denuclearization. 

Although there is sufficient special ‘‘notwithstanding’’ authority 

under current law to use funds requested under ‘‘Economic Support 

Funds’’ for Sudan, additional ‘‘notwithstanding’’ authority is needed 

particularly to use international military education and training 

and peacekeeping funds for assistance for training and equipping 

the Southern Sudanese military. 

The Iraq Enterprise Fund language provides the authority necessary to implement an enterprise fund to encourage private sector 

growth and investment in Iraq.
