THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, May 18, 2006. 

Hon. J. DENNIS HASTERT, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: On May 15th, I outlined to the Nation a 

comprehensive immigration reform initiative with five objectives. 

As part of my first objective to secure our Nation’s borders, I ask 

the Congress to consider the enclosed requests for an additional 

$1.9 billion for the Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland 

Security, which is in addition to supplemental funding requested 

on February 16th for the Global War on Terror and the consequences of Hurricane Katrina. This additional amount is offset 

by a $1.9 billion reduction in the amount requested on February 

16th for the Department of Defense. 

The revised request for the Department of Homeland Security 

will support my Administration’s commitment to gain full control 

of the borders through the deployment of additional Border Patrol 

agents, infrastructure, and technology (such as hundreds of miles 

of new roads, vehicle barriers, tactical communications, and aerial 

surveillance). 

The request for additional resources, coupled with additional 

legal authority from the Congress, will end the practice of catch 

and release along our southern border once and for all by increasing detention, transportation, and removal capabilities. 

The revised request for the Department of Defense will support 

the deployment, in coordination with the Governors, of up to 6,000 

National Guard members to the southern border. There, they will 

assist the Border Patrol by operating surveillance systems, building 

infrastructure, analyzing intelligence, and providing training until 

new Border Patrol agents and technologies come online. The request increases funding for training and other assistance for State 

and local authorities to support the Border Patrol on targeted enforcement missions. The request for the Department of Justice will 

provide additional resources for the prosecution and adjudication of 

illegal immigration cases. 

I designate these proposals in the amounts requested herein as 

an emergency requirement. I urge the Congress to act expeditiously 

to address the security needs along the Nation’s borders. 

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

from the Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Sincerely, 

GEORGE W. BUSH.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, May 18, 2006. 

The PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

To implement your objective to secure the Nation’s borders as 

part of your comprehensive immigration initiative, I submit for 

your consideration revised supplemental proposals for the Departments of Defense (DOD), Homeland Security (DHS), and Justice 

(DOJ). The original requests were transmitted to the Congress on 

February 16th. 

The proposed increase, which totals $1.9 billion, supports your 

commitment to increase the number of Border Patrol agents, end 

catch and release, assist State and local law enforcement, augment 

immigration enforcement along the border, and temporarily use the 

National Guard to assist DHS in securing the southern border. 

This border security initiative is fully offset through reductions in 

amounts previously requested for DOD. I recommend that you designate the proposals contained in this transmittal as an emergency 

requirement. 

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

Department of Defense 

• $756 million to place up to 6,000 National Guard personnel on 

the border through next year to operate surveillance systems, analyze intelligence, install fences and vehicle barriers, build patrol 

roads, and provide training. 

Department of Homeland Security 

• $410 million for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) salaries and expenses to hire 1,000 Border Patrol Agents and the related support costs, including contract personnel; replace Border 

Patrol vehicles; support Secure Border Initiative integration efforts; 

and increase capacity at the Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, 

New Mexico. When combined with funds in the FY 2007 Budget 

and planned for subsequent budgets, this will fulfill your commitment to add 6,000 Border Patrol agents by the end of 2008, doubling the size of the Border Patrol during your presidency. 

• $95 million for CBP’s Air and Marine Interdiction account to 

purchase Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and helicopters. 

• $300 million for CBP construction to provide resources to add 

vehicle barriers, all-weather patrol roads, and permanent lighting 

and fencing along the border. The funding also will allow for the 

expansion and investment needed to accommodate the growth in 

the Border Patrol agent workforce. 


ccoleman on PROD1PC71 with HEARING
4 

• $327 million for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 

for 4,000 additional detention beds to support the Administration’s 

goal to end catch and release along the southern border; for removal and transportation costs associated with these detention 

beds; for Fugitive Operations teams and other detention and removal personnel; and for the Alternatives to Detention program. 

Included in this request is $50 million for the 287(g) program, 

which will enhance partnerships between ICE and State and local 

law enforcement as newly trained and certified officers join immigration and border security task forces. The expanded participation 

will increase the apprehension, prosecution, and removal of criminal aliens and alien smuggling rings at the southern border and 

throughout the country. 

• $25 million for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center 

to increase training capacity for additional Border Patrol Agents. 

• $15 million for Operation Stonegarden initiatives in southwest border States, including measures that increase border security in direct coordination with Customs and Border Protection personnel. These grants will enable State, local, and tribal law enforcement personnel to increase their patrol presence at the border; 

provide additional traffic control support at the border and at border patrol traffic checkpoints; and enhance their participation in 

the Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. This is in addition to 

previously appropriated funds for the Law Enforcement Terrorism 

Prevention Program (LETPP). 

Department of Justice 

• $9 million for DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review 

to hire new administrative law judges and technical, clerical, and 

translator support to address the anticipated impact of enhanced 

enforcement efforts along the southern border. 

• $9 million for the Civil Division’s Office of Immigration Litigation to hire additional immigration attorneys as well as associated 

technical and clerical support. The additional positions will support 

the timely disposition of current and future cases. 

• $2 million for the United States Attorneys to support enhanced border enforcement efforts along the border. 

Offsets 

• The request is fully offset through reductions in the amount 

previously requested for the Department of Defense on February 

16, 2006. The attached supplemental language reflects these reductions to that original request. 

• These offsets come primarily from defense accounts for procurement items that can be deferred until later. There are no proposed reductions that would impact personnel or operational activities necessary for the War on Terror. Many of these offsets are 

similar to ones already identified by Congress. 

I have reviewed these proposals and am satisfied that they are 

necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the Secretaries of Defense 


ccoleman on PROD1PC71 with HEARING
5 

and Homeland Security, and the Attorney General in recommending that you transmit the proposals to the Congress. 

Sincerely, 

CLAY JOHNSON III, 

Acting Director.

Revised Request 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, DEFENSE-WIDE

For an additional amount for ‘‘Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide’’, $4,290,929,000, of which— 

(1) not to exceed $25,000,000 may be used for the Combatant 

Commander Initiative Fund, to be used in support of Operation 

Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom; 

(2) not to exceed $1,500,000,000 to remain available until expended, may be used for payments to reimburse Pakistan, Jordan, 

and other key cooperating nations, for logistical, military, and other 

support provided, or to be provided, to United States military operations, notwithstanding any other provision of law: Provided, That 

such payments may be made in such amounts as the Secretary of 

Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, and in consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, 

may determine, in his discretion, based on documentation determined by the Secretary of Defense to adequately account for the support provided, and such determination is final and conclusive upon 

the accounting officers of the United States, and 15 days following 

notification to the appropriate congressional committees: Provided 

further, That the Secretary of Defense shall provide Quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees on the use of funds 

provided in this paragraph; (3) not to exceed $44,500,000 for Cooperative Threat Reduction; 

and 

(4) not to exceed $756,000,000 for emergency National Guard support to the Department of Homeland Security, including operating 

surveillance systems, analyzing intelligence, installing fences and 

vehicle barriers, building patrol roads, and providing training, to 

remain available until September 30, 2007: Provided, That the Secretary of Defense may transfer these funds to appropriations for 

military personnel, operation and maintenance, and procurement to 

be available for the same purposes as the appropriation or fund to 

which transferred: Provided further, That this transfer authority 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 purposes provided herein, such amounts may be transferred back to this appropriation, to be merged with and available 

for the same purposes and for the time period provided under this 

heading: Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall, not 

more than five days after making transfers from this appropriation, 

notify the congressional defense committees in writing of any such 

transfer. 

This proposal would provide $756 million to support National 

Guard deployments in support of U.S. border control efforts. In coordination with the governors, rotations of up to 6,000 National 

Guard members will be deployed to the Nation’s southern border. 

The Guard units will assist in border security efforts through tasks 


ccoleman on PROD1PC71 with HEARING
7 

such as: operating surveillance systems, analyzing intelligence, installing fences and vehicle barriers, building patrol roads, and providing training. However, National Guard units deployed to the 

border will not be involved in direct law enforcement activities; 

that duty will be done by the Department of Homeland Security 

which will remain in the lead. 

This initial commitment of Guard members would last for one 

year. After that, the number of National Guard members will be 

reduced as new Border Patrol agents are added and new technologies come online. At any one time, these 6,000 Guard members 

account for less than two percent of the total National Guard force 

of more than 440,000. Guard members will be deployed in two- to 

three-week rotations to meet this 6,000 person level. There are 

enough National Guard members to deploy to the Nation’s border, 

while continuing to respond to natural disasters and fight and win 

the War on Terror. 

Military personnel will be employed consistent with applicable 

Federal, State, and local law. The National Guard Bureau will 

serve as the coordinating authority to deploy National Guard units 

from across the country to perform the border security mission in 

support of the Department of Homeland Security. The National 

Guard units will remain under the command and control of their 

respective State governors and Adjutants General. 

The funds are requested in the Operation and Maintenance Defense-Wide account, to be available through FY 2007. Once the 

operational details of the Guard deployments are worked out, the 

Secretary will transfer funds from this account to the proper military personnel, Operations and Maintenance, and procurement accounts for expenditure. He will notify Congress of these transfers 

within five days. 

Furthermore, $3.5 billion that was previously requested would 

provide support to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. This request includes funds for: operations; transportation; supplies and equipment; depot maintenance; and command, 

control, and intelligence capabilities in part for the Special Operations Command. It would also fund the communication backbone 

and continuing support for voice, video and data systems management, transmission and satellite services. In addition, this request 

would finance continuing support for contract audit, contract management, media, military tribunals, family support counseling, and 

critical infrastructure protection. This request includes $95 million 

to support the lift and sustainment costs of Coalition partners. 

The additional funding authorized for the Combatant Commander Initiative Fund supports unforeseen low-cost, high-benefit 

initiatives that enhance joint warfighting capabilities in support of 

Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. 

The request would also fund payments to key cooperating nations 

(e.g., Pakistan, Jordan) and Coalition countries providing logistical, 

military, or other support to U.S. military operations in support of 

Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Such 

support includes transportation into the theater, providing supplies 

to Coalition forces in the theater, and helping Coalition forces with 

communication support.

In addition, this request would provide $44.5 million to fund urgent activities to secure nuclear warheads at storage sites in Russia, as part of a global strategy to prevent terrorist organizations 

from gaining access to nuclear weapons materials. These funds 

would support the Cooperative Threat Reduction program’s efforts 

to prevent proliferation by ensuring the security and safety of nuclear weapons during storage, pending their final dismantlement 

and demilitarization. The requested funding supports the accelerated schedule for these activities agreed to by Presidents Bush and 

Putin at the G–8 Summit in Bratislava in February, 2005.

These funds will provide the resources to hire 1,000 Border Patrol Agents and the related support costs, including contract personnel; replace Border Patrols vehicles; support Secure Border Initiative integration efforts; and increase capacity at the Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, New Mexico. When combined with funds 

in the FY 2007 and subsequent budgets, this will add 6,000 Border 

Patrol agents by the end of 2008, doubling the size of the Border 

Patrol. 

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

This request adds $300 million to the pending supplemental request for this account. The additional funds will provide the resources to add 256 miles of vehicle barriers, 359 miles of all weather patrol roads, and additional lighting and fencing along the border. The funding will also allow for the expansion of Border Patrol 

facilities needed to accommodate the growth in the Border Patrol

at the border; provide additional traffic control support at the border and at border patrol traffic checkpoints; and enhance their participation in the Integrated Border Enforcement Teams. 

Funding shall be allocated to border States at the discretion of 

the Secretary for maximum effectiveness, and there is no minimum 

funding level for any State. No funds would be obligated or drawn 

down in support of these activities without Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approval of operational support plans. State, 

local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies could not use this funding to supplant routine patrol and law enforcement operations or 

activities in order to perform other activities not directly related to 

providing an enhanced law enforcement support of Federal border 

enforcement. No funding would be used for DHS Management and 

Administration costs, and States could use no more than three percent for management and administration.
