SUBJECT: Designation of Funding for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War 

on Terrorism 

Section 4(b) of the Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017 

(the "Act") provides that the availability offunding contained in the Act that is designated by the 

Congress for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism pursuant to section 

251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended 

(BBEDCA), is contingent upon the President subsequently so designating all such amounts and 

transmitting such designations to the Congress. 

These funds for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism cover the 

military and civilian costs necessary to achieve U.S. national security goals in Afghanistan, the 

broader Middle East, and other designated conflict zones and to address other emergent crises. I 

recommend that you designate for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism 

all funding including contributions from foreign governments so designated by the Congress in 

section 4(b) of the Act pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) ofBBEDCA, as outlined in the enclosed 

list of accounts. Upon transmittal of these designations to the Congress, these funds will be 

immediately available for obligation and expenditure, unless otherwise restricted in the Act. No 

further congressional action will be required for this designation. 

The designation of these funds for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on 

Terrorism allows for adjustments to the discretionary spending limits in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, 

as specified in section 251(b)(2)(A) ofBBEDCA. These adjustments will be reflected when the 

Office of Management and Budget submits its final sequestration report for FY 2017 under 

section254(f) ofBBEDCA. 

I have reviewed this proposed action and am satisfied it is necessary at this time. 

Therefore, I recommend that you make the requested funds available by signing the attached 

letters to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President ofthe Senate.
